Pipework of the organ

Bury Parish Church have a wonderful 3-Manual Nicholson Organ, rebuilt in 2007. It is built to have a French sound to it, and has a fantastic array of stops.

The organ has been played here for over a hundred years, and some of the original pipework is still in use to this day. The organ was originally situated above the west door, but was relocated to the new position when the church was rebuilt in 1876. The organ console has been moved about since the repositioning, once being a tracker organ, but then electrics were installed and the console moved to the south side of the chancel. It faced East until 2007 when the organ console was turned to face south.
