The Church Organ

Original Organ Installation

When the church was first built in 1936, a large musical instrument called a pipe organ was installed. This organ was made by a company named Rushworth and Dreaper. Pipe organs are very big and use air flowing through pipes to make music.

Organ Removal

Over time, things can change. The pipe organ that was originally in St. Margaret's Church has since been removed. This means the church now uses other ways to provide music for its services.
