St Edmundsbury Cathedral, Bury St Edmunds.

            St Edmundsbury Cathedral, Bury St Edmunds.

The organ was installed during the restoration of the 1860s, incorporating any useable parts of the instrument of a century earlier.  A great deal of work was done to it in 1914 and it was overhauled again before the service to dedicate the new quire and eastern chapels at Michaelmas 1970.  The organ was again rebuilt, and painted and guilded cases provided on either side of the organ chamber in 2010.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new Cathedral organ was built by Harrison & Harrison of Durham in 2010 and was played for the first time on Advent Sunday, 28 November 2010. Its predecessor had become very unreliable and outdated, and struggled to project sound into the body of the building. Some pipework was retained and given a thorough overhaul at the organ builders’ factory, but everything else is entirely new. Two spectacular new cases have been created, based on designs by Alan Rome and Stephen Dykes Bower and the colour scheme realised by the architect John Bucknall..    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stephen Dykes Bower rehoused the organ in the new organ loft in the 1960s. As we have noted, the instrument itself had begun to get tired and in 2010 it was completely refurbished by Harrison and Harrison. At the same time, a generous donation made it possible to add two magnificent painted and gilded cases to complete Dykes Bower’s original vision.
