- In 1907 leverde de firma Bishop & Son een drieklaviers orgel met 22 stemmen voor de kerk van Saint Peter in Sheringham. Het Choir Organ is pas in 1911 geplaatst. Hill, Norman & Beard breidden het orgel uit in 1928 met een nieuwe Violone 16' op het pedaal.
- Het orgel werd in 1935 door de firma Binns, Fitton & Haley herbouwd, met een nieuwe vrijstaande speeltafel en deels electrische tracturen. De firma Storr uit Norwich restaureerde het werk in 1962. Zij electrificeerde de volledige tractuur. In 1977 is door Richard Bower een nieuwe orgelkas aan de westzijde vervaardigd. Als laatste is het instrument in 1986 door de bouwfirma Bishop & Son herbouwd. Er is een nieuwe console geplaatst.
