In 2018, Henry Groves & Son built a new organ for Saint Mary's Church in Maidenhead. Much of the pipe work is by Walker & Sons, taken from a 1932 organ from the Great Hall of Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys in Leicester. Pipework is also used by Rushworth & Dreaper from 1933, from the organ of Saint Margaret's Church in Aspley, Nottingham. The last stops are taken from the previous Saint Mary's organ, and the Clarinet comes from Peter Collins stock. Consultant was Paul Hale. The organ was inaugurated on October 27, 2018 with a concert by David Goode.
