The Organ
In 1882 William Hill and Sons built for St. Mary’s a two-manual and pedals organ, replacing a four-stop single manual organ previously used. The organ was enlarged to a three-manual organ in 1892. There was a rebuild in 1953 by Rushworth and Dreaper which incorporated a detached console in the north transept. In 1993, F.H. Browne of Canterbury undertook major repairs and restoration, including the addition of new stops. The organ is now one of the best (if not the best) in the local area.
