1987 Organ

From 1984 to 1987 the Abbey underwent considerable internal restoration and the opportunity was taken to remove the organ from its north chamber for essential cleaning and also to provide additional stops.  The console was also moved from its position near the east wall of the chancel and re-sited closer to the central space. The work was entrusted to David Loosley of Stirling.

The organ is now in the care of Messrs. David Wells, Organ Builders, Cathedral Works,Liverpool .
