It's a fine instrument - sadly, the church is very evangelical, its large Victorian building has been subdivided into rooms, but the organ is still there, playable, with a weekly Monday lunchtime recital series. I think I might go along today...

I remember being told that, when my mother gave a recital there about 15 years ago, the then-incumbent was most displeased at the inclusion of Dieu Parmi Nous by Messiaen (he hated Messiaen and anything remotely Catholic).
