Caney (Rector) Organ In 1826 a two-manual organ was installed by Thomas Elliot. It cost £400 (equivalent to £ as of ), raised by subscriptions, and was placed in the tower of the church, but it was removed in 1853 to a more convenient location in the nave. The church had a three-manual 26-speaking-stop tubular pneumatic-action pipe organ installed in the north transept in 1899 by Brindley & Foster. It was rebuilt in 1955 by Kingsgate Davidson with electric action. This organ was replaced in 1987 by a three-manual 48-speaking-stop Makin electronic digital organ.
