There is a description of how the organ at St Sepulchre's came to be as it is in Nicholas Plumley's book "The organs of the City of London from the Restoration to the Present". Evidently Nicholson provided the funds for the 32ft to be incorporated into the scheme.
The annual St Cecilia's Day service used to be held at St Sepulchre's for many years after the second world war. A new anthem was composed for each service, but not many of them have subsequently found their way into the repertoire. An exception is Finzi's "God is gone up" (1951). The organ introduction is for "Great and Pedal Reeds (only)". Neither of these exists at St Sepulchre's! Apparently nobody told Finzi what the organ was like!!
