2009: rebuild and relocation, from chancel to west end gallery, of the 2-manual Yates organ, 31 stops.
The organ was originally built for the house of a Mr A E Allen in Radcliffe-on-Trent by Roger Yates in about 1930. The organ was moved to Carrington in 1949 by Hill, Norman & Beard and installed in a small chamber which then separated the chancel from the north aisle Lady Chapel. In 1991 it was modernised and a new action installed by Wood of Huddersfield. Later, the re-ordering of the church necessitated removal of the organ to a new west end gallery.
Relocation to the new west end gallery allowed for the expansion of the limited 8-stop Swell division to 12 stops. An additional ‘Yates’ soundboard was installed for Principal, Mixture and Trompette, and a new Bassoon 16ft / Oboe 8ft electric chest was installed. An Open Wood 16ft was installed on the Pedal at the rear of the organ. The structural swell box (12ft wide x 8ft deep) is at the lower level, with Great and Pedal divisions above.
The new case, designed by the church architect, was built in-house by Jonathan Wallace.
