the organ |
The organ was installed in 1903 by Norman & Beard of Norwich. Although
it has their engraving on the stop knobs and some N&B pipe-work within
it, it is clearly made up from an earlier, 19th century organ.
A transcript from the order book of Norman and Beard gives the specification and certain other details:
