Morton St DenisOrgan
The organ is sited at the rear of the church and is a single manual pipe organ,
built by W Hadfield of 199, Hackney Road, London. It was installed in
St Denis church in 1967 by Cantrill Bros of Castle Donington, who had
acquired it from a Methodist church of much the same size and period. Cantrill
had also carried out some restoration work, which included stripping the casing
and re-staining the wood a dark colour and also altering the case slightly
to take a 30 note pedal board coupled to the keys, instead of an 18 note board.
The organ has been maintained now for many years by Cousans
of Leicester.

Previous Organ
The organ replaced in 1967 was a two manual and pedal reed organ
with an electric blower, which had been installed in 1945. This, like its predecessor,
a harmonium, had been located at the front of the church on the north side
of the nave, hidden from view by a curtain.
