George Tucker built an organ for Penzance Roman Catholic Parish Church in 1884. The instrument was dedicated on September 23, 1884. The instrument has been preserved without major changes. In 1967 the pedal keyboard was renewed by Hele & Co., and they also installed a balanced swell pedal. In 1986 the organ was cleaned and restored by Lance Foy. A lot of grit had gotten into the instrument during a renovation of the church interior some years earlier. David Gridley undertook a restoration in 2010.
