- In 1979, after a thorough restoration, the Walker & Sons company installed a small chamber organ in Rochester Cathedral. The instrument was originally built in 1774 by Argent from Colchester for a private house in West Malling. Then it moved to Ditton Court. In 1814 it was placed in the church of Ditton. The Browne firm rebuilt it in 1884.
- The organ stood in the south aisle for a couple of years, but has in 2019 been transfered to the southern transept.
