- Het orgel in de parochiekerk van Swaffham is in 1876 gebouwd door de firma Bishop & Son. In 1901 is het door Norman & Beard gereviseerd en uitgebreid met enekele stemmen op Swell. De frma Hill, Norman & Beard herbouwden het orgel in 1952. De firma Bishop & Son werkte hierna nog enekel keren aan het orgel: in 1973 werden de klavieren gerenoveerd en enkele verbeteringen uitgevoerd. In 1976 breidden zij Great uit met een nieuwe Trumpet 8', en in 1982 is op het pedal een Flute Bass 8' geplaatst.
- In de kerk staat ook een groot electronisch orgel, dat tegenwoordig vaker wordt gebruikt dan het pijporgel (volgens de gids).
