The organ was originally constructed by Bernhard Smith in 1675 for St. Margaret's in London. In 1804, it was renovated by John Avery. Further modifications and expansions took place throughout the 19th century at the hands of J. C. Bishop, G. M. Holdich and William Hill & Son. In 1909, it was transferred to Cape Town, where it was extended to a four-manual organ by Hill & Son. An addition of several registers from the organ at St. Mary's Church, Nottingham was made in 1973.
