- In 1854, Joseph Walker supplied a new organ for the Rolls Chapel in the City of London, a chapel in the Breams Buildings dedicated to Saint Thomas-in-the-Liberty-of-the-Rolls. In the chapel, which was built in 1843, there was a barrel organ. Walker used the case of this organ in 1854 to build a new instrument. In 1886 the chapel was closed and demolished. The organ was dismantled and stored.
- In 1904/1905 the instrument was rebuilt by Ivimey in the Saint Nicholas' Chapel of Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight. This chapel had been rebuilt by Princess Beatrice as a memorial chapel for Charles I, who had been imprisoned at the castle awaiting his execution. The case of the organ has not been reconstructed. The organ is entirely in a swell box.
