- In 1910 Harrison & Harrison built a large new organ for the Saint-Mary-Redcliffe church in Bristol, that was inaugurated in 1911. The organ was temporarily stored in 1932 during the restoration of the church. When the instrument was rebuilt, it was expanded with two new stops.
- The Swell Organ was lost by a fire in 1942. A new Swell was installed in 1947. At the request of organist Garth Benson, the pedal was made stronger in 1974 during a restoration. Ultimately, the organ was completely overhauled in 1990. All works were carried out by the company Harrison & Harrison.
