Organ Specification

Specification of the Organ

The Organ was built by William Hill and Son in 1886, and rebuilt by that firm in 1931, when it was placed in the present organ chamber. The console was moved to it's present position in 1962. The organ was rebuilt again in 1973 by Percy Daniel & Co. Ltd., when the opportunity was taken to re-model the intrument, placing the newly-created Positive Organ in the place previously occupied by the console. The 1995 rebuild,also by Percy Daniel & Co. Ltd., completed the scheme started in 1973, and will greatly increase the effectiveness of the organ in both service and recital work. Great care has been taken to preserve the unique William Hill tone quality. The restoration of the organ has been generously supported by The Arts Council of Wales(Lottery Fund) and The Foundation for Sports and the Arts.
