The Organ

The two manual pedal organ, built by Harrison & Harrison of Durham in 1907, was originally installed in St Leonard’s Church, Malton. It was moved to St Michael’s in the early 1950s to replace an earlier instrument. Equipped with mechanical action, it is a fine example of the builder’s work. In 1974 it was cleaned and overhauled by J W Walker & Sons when a pneumatic action serving the pedal organ was electrified, and a pedal reed substituted for a open wood. A further major overhaul took place during the first few months of 2010.
