In 1959 Noel Mander built an organ for the Church of Saint Mildred in Addiscombe. It was placed on the gallery on the west side of the church. It was designed with three manuals and 37 stops, but only two manuals and 24 stops were installed.
In 1987 Mander also built an organ on the choir on the east side. It was also possible to play the main organ from the choir organ. The main organ was also overhauled and expanded with several registers, for which pipework was used from the Hill organ of Saint James' Church in Croydon.
The main organ was demolished around 2023 and was replaced by a new instrument a few years later.
