- Saint Sampson's Church in Golant has an organ that was transferred in 1995 from the church of Saint Pol de Leon in Paul. It was restored and installed by Lance Foy. The organ was not newly built in Paul either, but was placed in the church around 1963 and came from the Church of Saint Michael in Newquay. It was reduced from three to two manuals during the transfer.
- The original three-manual organ was built by Heard & Sons. The year of construction is unknown, but the church building was dedicated on July 12, 1911. The organ will have been built at the same time. It was replaced in 1961 by a new organ built by Nicholson.
