Oxford, United Kingdom (Oxfordshire) - Exeter College Chapel
Municipal: Oxford
Address: Turl Street, OX1 3DP, Oxford
Website: http://www.exeter.ox.ac.uk/
Description nr.: 2002882.
Built by: J.W. Walker & Sons (1994)
The organ contains older material: from 1892 by Thomas Hill
The interior of the chapel of Exeter College was redesigned in 1860 according to the ideas of Gilbert Scott, inspired by the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. William Hill built an organ for the chapel, the front pipe work of which was also painted to a design by Scott. The organ was expanded with a manual by Hill in 1891-1892. In 1967 Hill, Norman & Beard expanded the organ with a few new stops and the pedal compass was also increased. The original interior of the organ was demolished in 1991. The company Walker & Sons subsequently built a new organ behind the historic facade, which incidentally no longer speaks. The organ was built in the style of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. Construction consultant was David Sanger.
