Andrew Henderson on September 12th, 2025:

From the Exeter Advocate (May 14, 1891): "The new organ, built by Wadsworth, of Montreal, for the Main Street Methodist Church, was opened on Monday evening by Professor Birks, of London, before a large audience. The instrument is a very fine one and nearly fills the raised platform behind the pulpit. The pipes of the great organ are illuminated, and the whole instrument is enclosed in a handsome chestnut case. The tone is very rich and sufficiently powerful to fill the building, which possesses excellent acoustic properties. Prof. Birks showed the power of the different stops as well as their effect in combination, many speaking highly of the tone of the Oboe and Bassoon as well as the lieblich flute stops."

Rather inexplicably, the organ was replaced four years later by one built by Edward Lye & Sons.
