The Henry Willis organ was originally built in the 1920s for St Stephen’s Church, New Hutton, near Kendal, Cumbria, and purchased from there at a cost of £3,000. It was moved to Lincoln to the workshops of Cousans where it was renovated and restored by David Jones at a further cost of £8,100 and was installed in St Edmund’s Church in 1989.

A brass plaque which reads:

The Willis Organ was purchased in 1988

The mixture stop was added in memory of Joan Grinter 1918-1988.

The organ was rebuilt in 2009 by Henry Groves & Son of Nottingham. Details of the work undertaken and a full technical specification is available on the National Pipe Organ Register website.
