In 1915 Willis replaced the Twelfth on Great with a second Open Diapason, added the Swell Tremulant, and revoiced the Great Trumpet as a Tromba. Since then the console has been modified somewhat, presumably when the organ was restored by Hawkins of Walsall Wood in 1976.The illustration shows the church interior today; the organ is in a chamber on the north side of the chancel.
