THE ORGAN IN ST MARY'S CHURCH,
BOURNE STREET, LONDON

The organ was built in 1913 by Lewis & Co, who retained some pipework from the Walker organ of  1875.  In 1928 the organ was rebuilt in its present form by Henry Willis & Sons; a small chancel section was prepared for but never installed. Some further work was carried out by N P Mander in 1984.
The work of  2005-6 consists of a major restoration, with releathering of  the actions and wind system, renewal of  the electrical equipment, and the addition of  a Trumpet to the Great Organ.
The organ stands in the west gallery of  the church; the case, by Gambier Parry, dates from the early twentieth century.
