Organ

The original 2-manual Compton organ was fully overhauled and restored in 2008 by George Sixsmith and Son of Lancashire, during which it was re-located to the church's west end balcony. It is central to the liturgy at St Paul's and is also used for concert performances. The full specification can be seen below.
