c. 1880 Henry Willis & Sons, 2m., 8 sp.st., 3c, tr.

From 1981 OHTA Conference handbook and SOJ Summer 2002-2003:

This unrestored example of the work of Henry Willis & Sons, London, was built about 1880 for the former church, now the Marist Brothers School hall, and installed in its present location between the two wars (a former cinema). The present siting is most unfortunate acoustically.

The organ is currently (2003 onwards) in storage:
