In 1887 Henry Willis built an organ for Thomas Robins Bolitho in Trengwainton. The organ was later installed in Truro Cathedral. It was called the Godolphin Organ. In 1967 the instrument was bought for the parish church of Breage. The company Hele & Co. restored it and transferred it. Both reeds have been removed. Great's Clarinet replaced Hele with a Twelfth, Swell's Oboe with a Mixture.
