Built by: firma Henry Willis & Sons (1883)
In 1883 bouwde de firma Willis een drieklaviers orgel voor Saint David's Cathedral in Wales. In 1953 plaatste Hill, Norman & Beard het orgel in een nieuwe orgelkas, ontworpen door Alban Caroe. Het orgel werd in de jaren daarna verschillende malen gewijzigd. In de jaren 1996-2000 voerde Harrison & Harrison een herbouw uit in een grotendeels nieuwe orgelkas. Op 15 oktober 2000 werd het orgel weer in gebruik genomen. Op 15 november 2000 gaf Roy Massey een eerste orgelconcert op het hernieuwde orgel.
