Het orgel van Salisbury Cathedral is gebouwd door "Father" Henry Willis in 1876/1877. De firma Willis restaureerde het instrument in 1934, maar breidden het bij deze gelegenheid ook uit. De tractuur werd geëlectrificeerd, zodat een vrijstaande speeltafel kon worden geplaatst. Het Solo Organ plaatste men in een zwelkast. Het orgel is in 1978 en 1993 door Harrison & Harrison gereviseerd.
