A 1926 Steck pianola has been added as a piano attachment and the original 1939 melotone unit replaced with the 1964 unit that was part of the late Tony Lucas' 5 manual Compton electronic organ at Tetbury, Gloucestershire.

(Frank Cornish now has the console from this organ).

An extra octave of Diapason pipes and a 16' Tuba have also been added together with some additional couplers. A third (Solo) fully unified manual has been installed within the console.
