- Het orgel is in 1909 gebouwd door Nicholson & Co., Worcester, met gebruikmaking van pijpwerk van een ouder orgel.
- Het orgel in de Oratory Church of Saint Philip Neri in Birmingham-Edgbaston is gebouwd in 1909 door de firma Nicholson. Dezelfde firma breidde het instrument in 1939 ingrijpend uit. Rond 1950 volgde een grote ombouw door de firma Rushworth & Dreaper. In 1987 is het instrument door Nicholson herbouwd, met een nieuwe tractuur, aanpassingen in de windvoorziening en herintonatie. Van de zestig stemmen werden er in 1987 tien nieuw gemaakt.
