New Holy Trinity Church was designed by John Loughborough Pearson and built in 1873-1877. The organ is a fine 1877 Father Willis. Henry Willis & Sons have recently cleaned and overhauled this instrument and re-instated the Willis mechanical action as it had been discarded some years previously in favour of a home made aluminium and plastic action. The bellows were also re-leathered, the console stripped and refinished, rosewood drawstop bushes were fitted and the case was cleaned.
