Just spotted a rather lovely 2 manual and pedal organ for sale on eBay. Located in Bishops Castle appears to fit a rather fine description on NPOR.
EBay ref 323172820737

Dear Organ Matters Colleagues

Do have a look at the time lapse video I recorded of our chamber organ being taken down by Goetze and Gywnn on the 18th November for restoration and return next year. The appeal still requires a little topping up please help if you can, donations are always welcome. Email me at churchwardenpilning@gmail.com if you wish to donate

Every good wish

Ladies and Gents
Spotted this one, 2 days left on bidding
NPOR states that the organ contains Willis parts and was maintained up until 2003 by George Sixsmith

Dear all
Please have a listen to Pilning Pictures written for our 1794 William Allen Chamber Organ in support of the restoration appeal; which has done very well including support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Copies are available from Tim Knight Music

Sad news about Bill Drake, I had the chance to met him three times last year when he came to look at our Georgian chamber organ, which the firm will still be restoring later in the year once Spitlafields is completed.

Sorry everyone - bad news, this is from a friend of mine who played the instrument on many occasions, although it appears all is not completely lost

"I was at the College about 3 weeks ago and was able to see Groves (organ builders) taking the last of the pipes down.  They'll be used in a  new, larger, instrument that they're installing at Trent College. Better than scrapping it but very sad to see it go."

There is is

Dear all

Further to my post regarding this instrument

The composer Tim Knight has kindly written a suite in four very attractive little movements; the whole piece takes about 6½ minutes but each movement can be used in isolation. The movements are Introduction, Gigue Meditation and Scherzo are for single manual with a split at middle C but can be used on larger instruments with or without pedal

The music is now available through his website; proceeds from the sale will help the appeal as well as raise awareness of the organ, please take a look

Many thanks
