In 1896 bouwde Henry Willis een drieklaviers orgel voor Goodrich Court in Ross-on-Wye. In 1927 bouwde Hill, Norman & Beard het instrument om. Het orgel werd in 1947 overgeplaatst naar de kerk van Saint Michael at the North Gate in Oxford, waar het in het noordertransept kwam te staan. In 1953 brak er een grote brand uit in de kerk, waardoor het orgel geheel verloren is gegaan. De vermelde dispositie is van na 1927.
