- The company Ivimey & Cooper built a pipe organ for a church in Southampton in England around 1860. The original location is not known. It was later transferred to the Methodist Church in Tisbury.
- In 1980 the organ was sold and transferred by George Stansfield to the Hervormde Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church) in Schellinkhout. It was the second organ of this church. The instrument renovated by Flentrop and voiced for the new room. On October 25, 1980 the organ was taken into use in Schellinkhout. The instrument was originally located here next to the pulpit, but was moved to the choir in 1982. On this occasion the organ was expanded with two stops on the pedal: a Cremona 4' (second hand) and a Gedekt 8'. The drawer for the Cremona was already present, the Gedekt can be activated by a foot pedal with the description 'Octave Coupler'.
- The original compass of both the Bourdon 16' and the Gedekt 8' was eighteen tones (C-f°). In 2007, Peter van den Akker modified the construction. The compass of the Bourdon 16' was extended to thirty tones by using pipes of the Gedekt 8', that was removed as a stop.
- When the church in Schellinkhout was closed in 2015, and the building was sold, the organ stayed on this location until 2017. In that year, it was dismantled and stored. In 2019 the instrument was sold to the Stichting Muziekvrienden Samenstroom in Wieringerwerf. The organ has been restored and was transferred to De Samenstroom in Wieringerwerf in 2020 by volunteers under supervision of Hans Martin. The expansions from 1982 were removed, and the Bourdon 16' was moved to the original location behind the organ on a new wind chest. The Cremona is removed, and the drawer of this stop is since in use for the pedal coupler. Both foot steps for the couplers are also removed. Frans Vermeulen restored the pipes where necesarry and revoiced the instrument. The pitch has been raised from a' = 440 Hz to a' = 450 Hz, what seems to have been the original pitch.
- On September 20, 2020, the organ was inaugurated in Wieringerwerf. It has been played by this occasion by Edwin Hinfelaar and a number of local organists.
