A stop-list would be of great help.  I did check NPOR, and the church is listed, but there's no survey for the organ.

If you zoom in on the pictures, the stop-list can be read as:

Great: Open Diapason, Principal
Swell: Stopped Diapason, Gamba
Pedal: Bourdon
Swell to Great
Great to Pedal

The length of the case pipes suggest that the Open may have a stopped bass, and the absence of a Swell to Pedal coupler (and the size of the box) that it may stop at tenor C and borrow the Great bass, but I'm into realms of conjecture here.

A nice little instrument for someone and probably a satisfying practice organ.

I've sent this spec to NPOR.
