Het orgel werd oorspronkelijk in de jaren 1871-1881 gebouwd door William Hill. Het instrument werd volledig herbouwd door Harrison & Harrison in 1918, gebruik makend van het oude materiaal. Het werd naderhand nog uitgebreid in 1934 en 1952. In 1940 liep het schade op door bombardementen. Omdat het orgel veel problemen vertoonde is het in 2016 afgebroken en vervangen door een geheel nieuw orgel van de firma Tickell.
