The Church Organ
Many churches have a special musical instrument called an organ. It's like a huge keyboard instrument that makes sound using air through pipes. Albion Congregational Church had an organ installed around 1904 or 1905. It was built by a company called Charles Lloyd.
Later, in 1953, the organ was updated and rebuilt by another company called Rushworth and Dreaper. This made sure the organ continued to work well and sound great for many more years. You can find more technical details about this organ on special websites if you are interested in how these instruments work.
