Couplers: Swell to Choir, Swell to Pedal, Choir to Pedal.
Two composition pedals to Choir Organ, two composition pedals to Swell Organ. The manuals had reverse coloured keys (sharps white, naturals black).
In 1959 the organ was rebuilt by E. Wragg & Son of Nottingham using their exhaust pneumatic action. The keyboards were removed and conventional coloured keyboards fitted; luckily the original keyboards were retained in a glass cabinet in the church.
Then in 2004 the organ was stripped down and rebuilt by Principal Pipes of York. A new mechanical action was fitted; additional shutters were made and fitted to the west end of the swell box; and the original manuals with the reverse coloured keys were re-fitted.
On the Choir Organ the Dulciana has been replaced with a Fifteenth 2'.
