- Het orgel van Waltham Abbey gaat terug op een instrument van Flight & Robinson uit 1819. Dit orgel, een cilinderorgel, kon niet met de hand worden bespeeld. Het is later door de firma Walker uitgebreid en voorzien van klaviatuur. In 1879 is het orgel door hen afgebroken en herbouwd aan de noordoostzijde van de kerk.
- Het orgel werd in 1954 weer overgeplaatst naar de oude locatie, op een galerij aan de westzijde. Er zijn plannen voor vernieuwing of vervanging van het orgel.
