The organ was initially built by William Hill & Son in 1890, with 26 registers on Great, Swell and Pedal. In 1924, Cooper, Gill & Tomkins Organ Builders incorporated an electric blower into the organ. In 1941, the existing swell operation was replaced with a balancer step by the same builders. In 1958, the organ was remodeled and expanded by Cooper, Gill & Tomkins: additions included a third manual (Choir) and new reed stops. The pipe work for three reed stops (Trumpet 8' Swell; Trombone 16' Pedal; Tromba 8' Great/Pedal) was derived from a former organ at Trinity College, Cambridge, UK. Between 1989 and 1990, the organ was renovated by Cooper, Gill & Tomkins again, and a setter system with 256 storage levels was installed.
