- The organ in Kilkhampton Church was installed in the church in 1859. Some of the material was taken from the old Schrider organ from Westminster Abbey, which stood here from 1730 to 1848. Possibly that is why the organ still contains pipes by Bernard 'Father' Smith. In 1880 the organ was rebuilt by Henry Willis to its present form. In 1892 T.C. Lewis added a Subbass 32'. The organ was restored in 1958 by Roger Yates. In 1962 he placed a Bombarde 16' on the pedal.
- The Foy company reconstructed the organ in 2017 to the situation of 1892. The mechanical action was also reconstructed.
