LCO: The Lady Chapel Organ

The Lady Chapel Organ was built by Henry Willis & Sons Ltd. and consists of two manuals, CC to C, 61 notes, with a pedal board CCC to G, 32 notes. It was overhauled by Hill, Norman and Beard in 1973 incorporating eight new stops. A new electro-pneumatic and electro-magnetic action was fitted , with various console accessories and a new humidifying plant. In 1992 it was cleaned and overhauled by David Wells Organ Builders, Liverpool; who have for the first time, re-built the 1910 soundboards, supplied a new transmission system and a new sixteen memory piston action. The Pedal organ was also extended to include a new 32ft reed, the gift of the estate of Geoffery Potter Lennox, an unflagging supporter and much loved Patron of the Organ.
