I saw the organ yesterday, and am glad to report that it is in good condition. It's a two-manual Wadsworth, not sure of its age.
Pedal (C-f1)
16' Bourdon
Great (C-a3)
8' Open Diapason
8' Dulciana (C-B stopped)
4' Harmonic Flute
Swell (C-a3)
8' Lieblich Gedact
8' Viola (C-B from LG)
4' Gemshorn
8' Oboe
Couplers + Acc.
Swell to Great; Swell to Pedal; Great to Pedal
Vertical swell shutters (ineffective enclosure)
Two composition pedals to Great (Dulciana alone; All stops)
I have to remark on a very pleasant sound, with a good singing Open Diapason. The lack of an 8' flute on the Great is irksome though. It is under-powered for the building, so they intend to replace it with a redundant organ already in their possession. The churchwarden informed me that there will be a PCC meeting on the 6th of September, and that she will persuade its members to apply immediately for a faculty for the organ's removal. I have already had some interest from Paul Derrett, but am waiting to hear back from him. If he does not wish to take it, please let me know if you would like it.
Many thanks!
