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 specification is as follows: CHOIR ORGAN (CC to C in alt^o., 61 notes). 1.
