- De kerk van Saint Dionis, Backchurch in Londen werd gebouwd in 1674 naar ontwerp van Christopher Wren. Het gebouw stond achter de huizen van Fenchurch Street. In 1724 bouwde Renatus Harris een nieuw orgel voor de kerk met drie manualen, maar zonder pedaal. Het was het laatste orgel dat hij bouwde. In 1868 werd het instrument door Gray & Davison omgebouwd en uitgebreid.
- Het hierna deed nog maar kort dienst in de kerk. In 1879 werd het kerkgebouw gesloten en afgebroken. Het orgel is door Maley, Young & Oldknow overgeplaatst naar de kerk van Saint Mark op de hoek van East Street en Walworth Road. Echter, op 18 januari 1881 raakte het beschadigd door een storm. Het is van deze schade hersteld door de firma E. Ingram, die het orgel geheel herbouwden en moderniseerden. Op 27 januari 1885 nam men het orgel weer in gebruik.
