From SOJ August/September 1993, December1993/January 1994:

The organ at St Peter's Anglican Church, Richmond officially dates from 1904, but was acknowledged at thge time as containing second-hand parts from another organ (c.1880), including soundboards, action, bellows and about half the pipework.

Over the years an Oboe had been added but this was difficult to tune and blocked other pipework so was removed in the restoration which was carried out over several years in stages by Peter D.G Jewkes. The original Fifteenth had been replaced by a neo-classical Dutch Principal 2'. This was fortuitiously destoyed by painters redecorating the church so was replaced in 1991 with a new rank in the Fincham style.
