Built by: William Holt (ca. 1860)
In 2009 an organ was placed in the Basilika Knechtsteden by the Feenstra company. The instrument is an old English organ, originating from the Methodist Church at Tockwith in North Yorkshire. The builder and the year of construction are unknown. However, the organ is attributed to William Holt, and it is assumed to having been built around 1860. It was not installed in Tockwith until after 1870. During the restoration, the manual compass of Swell was expanded with the lowest octave. The pipe work for this was newly made and placed on a separate windchest with twelve notes. The organ was inaugurated in the Basilika at the end of 2009.
