The organ was built in Switzerland by the specialist firm La Manufacture d’Orgues St Martin and installed in the church in 2013. It has 1,667 pipes, many of which were sponsored by individuals and groups under the church’s Pipe Up! appeal. Other funds were raised from the Bedford Park Festival, fund-raising Balls and a Hymnathon.
