From SOJ April/May 1981, Winter 1996:

St. Peter's Church is an historic Georgian church of the same period as St. Luke's, Liverpool. It was built by convict labour and opened in 1823 - various additions were made in other styles later in the nineteenth century.

The first organ in the church was commenced by Holroyd & Edwards in 1922 and installed in a new west gallery by S.T. Noad & Son in 1962 after the church had used a seraphine (by 1848) and harmoniums. The pipe organ became troublesome and was sold to a local amateur builder in 1980 for use in his home. A new tracker action organ was built by J. W. Walker & Sons of England and was installed by the Australian branch of the firm in 1981.

Its specification is:

Great Chimney Flute Principal Nazard Tierce Flageolet Swell Stopped Diapason Gemshorn Fifteenth Mixture Pedal Bourdon Bass Flute Octave Flute Couplers Swell to Great Swell to Pedal Great to Pedal Swell Sub-octave
