The organ was built in 1961 and was one of the last completely new large instruments to be built by Compton before they focused solely on building electronic instruments which were also in production at the same time as this instrument was built.
The organ is installed in 3 chambers in the west gallery and is said to be the loudest instrument in London. Unlike other instruments, this organ differed to what was the usual standard practice for Compton in that there is only one rank extended on each division and only the swell and choir divisions enclosed.
