- The organ at Saint Andrew's Church in Mevagissey was built in 1888 by Hele & Co. It was restored by Marc Eglinton in 1967. In 1981 W.N. Hosken carried out a renovation. The pedal was expanded with two extensions of the Bourdon 16'. On Great Hosken replaced the Dulciana 8' with a Quint 1 1/3', and on Swell the Oboe 8' with a Mixture. In 1998, Lance Foy undertook a restoration.
- The church was built as a United Reformed Church. In 1992 the congregation merged with the Methodist Church. After a restoration, the United Reformed Church was used for the new congregation and was named Saint Andrew's Church.
