- In the Church of Saint Colanus in Colan there is an organ from the first half of the nineteenth century. The maker is unknown. It was placed in the East Parish Church in Newlyn in the 1850s-1860s, and originally stood in the Bishops Palace in Exeter. The transfer to Newlyn was carried out by H.P. Dicker, organ builder in Exeter. In 1893 the organ was transferred to the Church of Saint Petroc in Saint Columb Minor by Hele & Co. It was expanded by them with a pedal board. The organ was located on the east side of the church, near the choir. In 1950 it was renovated by Chenery & Lock and transferred to the gallery on the west side. A new pedal keyboard was installed with a larger compass.
- The organ was sold to the parish in Colan in 1967. Marc W. Eglington transferred it. It was installed on the gallery in the tower in Colan. Lance Foy performed an overhaul in 1988. In 2014 it was restored by Lance Foy and moved to the church floor on the east side of the church. The pneumatic pedal action was electrified. Furthermore, the Gamba of Great has been replaced by a Twelfth, and the Salicional of Swell has been changed to a Voix Celeste.
