1968 Norman & Beard Hill   

Bij een brand in 1938 ging het oude orgel van de kathedraal in Norwich verloren. De firma Hill, Norman & Beard bouwde in twee fasen een nieuw instrument, waarbij nog 33 registers uit het oude orgel zijn gebruikt. De orgelkas is een ontwerp van Stephen Dykes Bower. Het orgel heeft vier manualen en pedaal. Zowel het Great Organ als het Choir Organ zijn opgesteld in twee gedeelten. Daarbij is één van de Choir-gedeelten in een zwelkast geplaatst. In het koor van de kerk staat een tweeklaviers speeltafel. Het Choir-Positiv is hierbij als eerste klavier bespeelbaar, het Choir-Swell als tweede. Het orgel heeft honderden koppelingen en speelhulpen, waaronder een Cymbelster met zes klokken.
