- Het orgel van de Free Church in Saint Ives is oorspronkelijk gebouwd in 1873 door G.M. Holdich te Londen. In 1902 zijn er door Alfred Monk (London) restauratiewerkzaamheden uitgevoerd, waarbij ook een ombouw heeft plaatsgevonden naar het pneumatische systeem. In 1921 is het instrument gerestaureerd en vergroot door de firma Wm. Hill & Son, Norman and Beard te Norwich.
- In 1980 is de kerk ingrijpend verbouwd en is het Holdich-orgel verplaatst naar de westgalerij. Het instrument is toen omgebouwd naar een electro-pneumatische tractuur. Tevens is het instrument toen geplaatst in de huidige kas, die afkomstig is uit de kerk van Saint Margaret Lothbury te Londen. De speeltafel komt ook daar vandaan. De orgelkas werd in 1801 gebouwd door John Pike England. De overplaatsing en ombouw werd uitgevoerd door de firma Bishop & Sons.
