  • Burwood Uniting Church is a church in the suburb Burwood of Sydney, which also serves as Uniting Church for the suburb Croydon. The building is designed in neogothic style and was build in 1880. First they acquired a pipe organ from the firm J.W. Walker & Sons in London. This organ was sold in 1958 en replaced by a second hand Wurlitzer theatre organ from King's Cross Theatre.
  • The Wurlitzer Organ served the church for about 30 years. In 1990 is was replace by a Gray & Davison organ from 1887, which had originally been built for Saint Deniol's Church in Criccieth, Wales. Pitchford & Garside restored the organ and it could be inaugurated on October 25, 1992. Mark Quarmby played the organ at this occasion, in corporation with the Newington College Trebles Choir, conducted by Elizabeth Swain.
