- Saint Peter's Church is Tadley's historic church. The church is located outside the current village. There was no longer an organ in the church. After another organ was placed in Saint Paul's Church in the village, a new organ was built for Saint Peter's by David Carrington & Phillip Wells using material from the old organ of Saint Paul. The old Saint Paul's organ was placed here in 1966. It was a Liddiatt & Sons organ from around 1880, acquired from the Congregational Church in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. With the material, Carrington & Wells built a unit organ with only three ranks (Flute, Principal and Quint). The size had to be limited because of the available space in the gallery. It was installed in a new organ case with a new front, designed by Derrick Carrington. The organ was commissioned in 1971.
- In 2007, the organ was demolished except for the front. An electronic organ has been placed with the loudspeakers behind the front.
