DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Not Playable in this location
Visited the Organ today. It switches on, and parts of the Swell and Pedal are playable Great is not playable at all. Entire instrument in very poor condition. Has not been in regular use for at least two decades. Appears to be almost completely intact in place.
Leo Abbot told me that the instrument is Midmer, and only the console was renovated in the 1940s, the rest remaining original.

Organ console and pipework appear to be present as observed from floor.
