In 1853 bouwde de firma J.W. Walker een nieuw orgel voor Saint Vedast's Church in Londen. Het oude orgel werd verkocht naar Bethnal Green. Het nieuwe orgel werd opgesteld op de orgelgalerij aan de westzijde van de kerk. In 1885 werd het interieur van de kerk hernieuwd. Het orgel is daarbij de door Walker gereviseerd en overgeplaatst naar de zuidoostzijde van het koor. Het werd uitgebreid met een derde manuaal en verschillende registers. In 1940 is het orgel verloren gegaan door bombardementen.
