Addition of three additional ranks: a Grave Mixture II to the Great (new pipework) and a Principal 4 to the Swell (vintage A-S pipework). All pipework was removed, cleaned, regulated, and voiced.

Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- The original Skinner organ was III/23. The 1960 revision replaced the Great chest and added a small mixture. The 1995 revision removed the mixture but reinstated the 73 note chest and octave coupler. Vintage Skinner pipes and chests were used to add a Bourdon to the Pedal and an Unda Maris in the Choir to complement the existing Dulciana. A new Ancillary division was added (essentially a floating 2-rank Solo division) with a French Horn and Tuba. The console was refurbished and updated to solid state with a new combination action. The organ is in regular use for services (2007)
