This organ was built and installed in 1878/9 by Foster and Andrews and is a single manual mechanical instrument.

It is a smaller version of similar instruments in St. Paul's Ramsey (visit link) and Trinity Methodist Church in Douglas.

The pipes are a colourful and striking display with all the pipes are brightly painted.

The round metal display pipes are dummies with nearly all the actual pipework being contained within the wooden swell box.

In common with other instruments by Forster and Andrews this organ is solidly constructed and mechanically robust.
