Organs
The first organ of St Andrew's Church came from St Michael of the North Gate. It was installed in 1914 in the elevated position of the west gallery by Lindsay Gerrard. The organ was in two cases on either side of the rose window. Further information...
In 1975, the organ was rebuilt and enlarged by Reeves of Stoke-on-Trent, following the fashions of the time. Further information...
Clearly, this rebuild was not a success because, in 1987, the organ was replaced by a 3-manual electronic instrument by Copeman Hart. The console is currently in the south aisle, and the speakers are in the west gallery. The specification is as follows:
