- In 1906 bouwde Francis Pollard een tweeklaviers orgel voor Malew Street Methodist Church in Castletown. Na sluiting van deze kerk is het instrument in de jaren zeventig door de firma Laycock & Bannister overgeplaatst naar Saint Thomas' Chapel van King Williams College. In deze kapel stond een electronisch orgel. Het orgel werd geplaatst op de galerij aan de westzijde, waarbij het Great Organ aan de linkerkant, en het Swell Organ aan de rechterkant kwam te staan. De tractuur werd electropneumatisch gemaakt.
- Peter Jones voerde in later jaren een revisie uit. Daarbij werd het orgel uitgebreid met een Mixture op Great en 16-voets tongwerken op Swell en Pedal.
