1898 Norman & Beard  nieuwbouw
2005 Peter Jewkes  overplaatsing

Norman & Beard built an organ in 1898 for Saint Saviour's Church on Walton Place, London-Knightsbridge. This organ had to be removed when the church was closed and later demolished in 2004. Stephen Bicknell took the initiative to sell the organ to Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Parramatta, Australia. This cathedral was dedicated on November 29, 2003. The old church, built in 1936, was destroyed by a fire on February 19, 1996. The Norman & Beard organ was installed in Parramatta by Peter Jewkes. A new prospect was designed, in style with the architecture of the church. On March 2005, 23 the inauguration of the organ was played by Anna and Ruth Kleibert.
