 C. Lee Williams was organist from 1876 to 1882, and on his preferment to Gloucester Cathedral drew unfavourable comparisons between the condition of the Renatus Harris organ there and that of the larger and more resourceful one he was leaving at the much smaller cathedral of Llandaff.Towards the end of the century, however, the Llandaff organ was felt to be inadequate for the cathedral.The Gray and Davison instrument was advertised for sale and in 1900 it was re-erected at Usk in memory of Hely Bennet Rickards, at the expense of his parents.
