The organ at St Peter's Anglican Church, Seven Hills South was built in 1882 by J.W.Walker & Sons, London (job no.1162). It has one manual, three speaking stops, pedal pulldowns, and is mostly enclosed with mechanical action. It was restored in 1965 by Hill, Norman & Beard. The instrument is of compact dimensions and has an oak case and spotted metal pipework (cone-tuned). It was installed in St Peter's in 1979 after the closure of St Andrew's Anglican, Seven Hills where it had been prior. The organ is being offered for sale (2005) with offers around $30,000 being invited.
