- In 1875 T.C. Lewis & Co. built an organ for Holy Trinity Church in London-Paddington. The organ had three manuals and pedal, with 36 registers. The church stood on the corner of Bishop's Road and Westbourne Terrace, and was designed by Thomas Cundy. The building was dedicated in 1846. The organ was converted in 1912 by Norman & Beard. It remained in use in this form until the church closed in 1971 due to dilapidation. The church was demolished in 1984.
- The organ was reloacted to the main hall of the Corn Exchange in Ipswich in 1975 after a major renovation by Bishop & Son. This building is in use as a theater.
