The Organ of the Holy Name
The organ is by Hill's and was installed in 1870. By 1903, the Manchester atmosphere of the time had taken its toll, and much repair and renovation was needed.
It was always considered a truly magnificent instrument and recently has earned superlative praise for its tone and power from those who are experts in the wonders of quality church organs.
