Dear Jeremy
    The organ was built around 1920 by J.R. Cousans and Co. of Lincoln. It was built on pneumatic action which was very ponderous. Around 1980 we scraped the pneumatic action and electrified it. The organ did have pistons but the church could not afford to have drawstops with solenoids so the pistons had to be discarded, which was a shame.
    When we stripped the organ out, we found a couple of pages of the "Lincolnshire Chronicle" dated 13th June 1931. It has some fascinating advertisements in it with, what seems today to be fairy tale prices. This could be the year that that the organ was installed or it could just have been left there on a tuning visit.
