2019: installation of a new 2-manual 12-rank organ, 30 stops.
The organ in St Martin’s church stands in twin cases, designed by the late Kenneth Tickell, either side of the west window, speaking east down the nave. The south case contains the Great and Pedal; the north case contains the Swell, with the console built in at ground-level, the player facing north.
Organ booklet
This booklet about the organ in St Martin’s Church, Barcheston was written by Geoffrey Holroyde and Paul Hale.
The specification is derived from twelve ranks of pipes, using the extension system to provide a colourful tonal scheme despite the limited space available. The bottom octaves of ranks I & J are produced digitally.
