Newbury & District Organists' Association - St Nicolas Organ Specification

The Organ of St Nicolas Parish Church, Newbury Modified 29 July 1998
	Built in 1770 by Byfield and Green with some work by Snetzler, the organ was moved to its present position from a gallery under the tower in 1859, having been enlarged by Bevington. The restoration in 1927 by Walkers left a specification similar to the above and replacement of the heavy tracker action by electro-pneumatic enabling the console to be sited across in the Lady Chapel. The most recent restoration in 1972 by Osmonds involved the provision of the present mobile console, re-enclosure of the Choir organ, and some alteration to the Pedal department.
