The organ was built as job number A188 and installed here in 1933 where it was opened on 5th October of that year. It replaced an earlier instrument by Gray and Davison dating from 1875.

After a fundraising appeal in 1979 the organ was cleaned by Hawkins & Son of Lichfield and the original Viola rank of pipes was replaced by a Gemshorn.

It is typical of Compton organs with a detached stopkey console and built on the "unit" principal with 6 ranks of pipes all enclosed behind an ornamental grille.

In 2011 the organ became silent after the blower failed and at one point it looked like the organ would be scrapped. However, in 2017 St Luke's Church in nearby Cradley Heath closed and the blower motor from the Compton organ there became available and so thanks to organist James Brookes who set up an appeal, over £7000 was raised and now the organ is singing away again and sounding better than ever! Unlike most other organ rebuilds and restorations, the work was done mostly by volunteers including help from the Cinema Organ Society and the Cannock Chase Organ Club.

In 2021 the opportunity came to return the organ to it's original 1933 specification by removing the Gemshorn rank and replacing it with the Viola which was originally installed on the Compton organ at the Regal Cinema in Chesterfield.

Thank you to everyone involved for saving this wonderful example of a Compton organ.
