Het orgel in Chester Cathedral is gebouwd in 1844 door Gray & Davison als een orgel met 37 stemmen op drie manualen en pedaal. Het was bij oplevering na het orgel in York Minster het grootste orgel van Engeland. In 1876 is het vergroot door Whiteley Brothers tot een vierklaviers werk met 63 stemmen. Er werd een nieuwe orgelkas gemaakt door Sit Gilbert Scott. De oude kas is gebruikt voor de bouw van een orgel in de St. Pauls Anglican Cathedral in Valetta op Malta. William Hill & Son restaureerde het orgel in 1910 en vernieuwde de tongwerken.
Een uitgebreide restauratie werd in 1970 afgesloten met een inwijdingsconcert door Maurice Duruflé en zijn vrouw. De restauratie was uitgevoerd door de firma Rushworth & Dreaper. Adviseurs waren kathedraalorganist Roger Fisher en sir John Dykes Bower.
