The 'Bevington' organ was built some time during the 1880's at
Bevington's factory in Soho. It has two manuals (keyboards), pedals and 10 stops. It was
discovered in 1995 by Philip Wood, the Huddersfield organ builder, languishing in a disused
chapel in Greaseborough, near Sheffield.
When the organ at St. Asaph Cathedral was being rebuilt in 1996 - 1998, Philip and his son
David rescued this organ and built it in the Cathedral as a temporary instrument. When the
Cathedral organ was complete, it returned to the works in Huddersfield.
The plain boards at the back of the organ have been covered with the decorative
front from the organ of All Hallows Church. |
