St Leonard’s, Wollaton (2012)
3 manuals 32 stops

We rebuilt this small 9-stop two-manual Willis organ and enlarged it to a three-manual instrument of 32 stops derived from 14 ranks of pipes.The Swell, Great and Pedal departments are on a new cantilevered west end platform with a new case.

The new choir organ is mobile at the east end with the reconditioned three-manual detached draw-stop console, formerly at St. Peter’s, Nottingham.
