Built by: firma Henry Willis & Sons (1874)
Henry Willis built an organ for All Saints' Church in Reading in 1874, possibly using some existing material. It was a two manual organ. In 1900 it was converted by Willis to pneumatic manual action and expanded with a third manual (Choir). In 1956-1957 the organ was rebuilt by Norman & Beard. The action has been made completely electro-pneumatic and the disposition has been adapted to the taste of the times. By Geo. Osmond & Co. reed stops were added to Solo and Pedal in 1968.
