The
west-end Gallery Organ was built in 1880 by W E
Richardson for St Mary’s Church, Preston and moved to Leicester in 1995 following a
restoration by Peter Collins.
The Sanctuary Organ was built by J Porritt & Son of
Leicester and installed in the old church in 1861. In 1890 it was enlarged and improved
and when the present church was opened in 1931, it was moved to a chamber on the south
side of the choir. A further rebuild took place in 1953 for which Ralph Downes, designer
of the organ in the Royal Festival Hall, gave his advice. |
