Built by: Samuel Green (1790)


Samuel Green bouwde in 1790 een orgel voor Sandbeck Hall in Yorkshire in opdracht van de Earl of Scarborough. Het orgel is in 1963 geschonken aan Queen Elizabeth II voor haar Private Chapel in Buckingham Palace, omdat het orgel dat daar stond in de oorlog zwaar beschadigd was geraakt. Later werd het orgel overgeplaatst naar de kapel van Kensington Palace.
