se, in repairs, and in the addition of a swell organ;
and in 1848 it was enlarged by Willis at a cost of L322 15_s._ 8_d._
Little of the original work remains, with the exception of some of the
diapasons, the principal, and the tin pipes in the choir front. The
old organ is in constant use for ordinary evening services, and for
the services on Sunday mornings and afternoons. For the Sunday evening
services the Grove organ is generally used. Sometimes the two organs
are used together.
The Grove organ is a very fine instrument, but it is more fitted for a
concert-room than for the accompaniment of ordinary church music. It
was given, as the brass tablet sets forth, "_To the greater glory of
God, and to commemorate the Jubilee of the Queen in 1887._" The
