- Holtzhammer & Sons built a new two-manual organ for the Church of Saint Giles in Upper Gravenhurst in Bedfordshire, England in 1908. The church building, which dates from the Middle Ages, was closed for church services in 2007. The organ was sold a few years later.
- After a restoration by David Coram, it was transfered to the Samenvaartkerk in Breezand in 2017 by David Coram and Stephen Cooke.
- However, the instrument was not functioning without problems. Sander Booij worked on the instrument in 2018-2019. He carried out a complete restoration. A second hand Cornopean from the Hele company, dating from around 1920, could be acquired. This reed stop was installed on a new slide of the Great Organ, manufactured by Martin Butter. The organ was inaugurated in Breezand on November 8, 2019.
