This important historic organ is a very rare
example by A Buckingham of London and is
almost in its original form.
Built in 1825 it was transferred from St.
Alkmund, Derby in 1858, thence to Belper
and Kilburn Methodist churches, moved to
Awsworth in 1895.
This fine sounding instrument was restored by
Peter Bumstead in 1991 and is in good playable
condition. A record of the rebuilt organ is
available.
