Gedling All HallowsOrgan
There was an organ mounted on the west gallery from about 1800 to when the
gallery was removed in 1872. A replacement organ with two manuals and eighteen
stops by Foster and Andrews was presented by John Elliott Burnside in 1874
in memory of his grandfather and installed in the North aisle. It was later
removed to the North side of the chancel where it intruded considerably into
the choir area. It was moved again to a specially designed extension to the
north side of the chancel in 1925 when an oak case with a carved angel blowing
on a golden trumpet was added. In order to erect the new building the graves
of John Elliott Burnside and his grandfather had to be moved. In 1999 the organ
was re-built and enhanced with an additional keyboard.
