An Organ of Distinction

Fine organ cases are somewhat rare in this country and one certainly does not expect to find a masterpiece in a village church.

The organ was made by Thomas Liddiatt, a village carpenter: it was installed in 1876 with one manual and pedals and was completed in 1885. Thomas Liddiatt went on to found an organ-building business in Leonard Stanley and he and his son built about 40 organs.
