THE CHURCH ORGAN |
Built in 1975 by Messrs W. Hawkins of Walsall, the slider windchests & half of the pipework came from an organ in 1920 by J J Binns for Walsall Congregational Church, the rest is new. The case was made by the “Lindford- Bridgman” cabinet-makers of Lichfield in oak and was designed by Anthony Chatwin. The console is also in oak.
