Description nr.: 2005005.

Built by: Peter D. Collins (1984)


In de kerk van Saint Peter Mancroft in Norwich werd in 1912 een orgel gebouwd door de firma Hele & Co., dat in 1938 ingrijpend werd verbouwd en uitgebreid door Rushworth & Dreaper. In 1982 is dit orgel afgebroken. Peter Collins bouwde in de jaren 1981-1984 een nieuw orgel voor de kerk. Adviseur bij de bouw was Kenneth Ryder, organist van de kerk, hierbij geassisteerd door Herbert Norman. Het orgel is geïnspireerd door het orgel van Renatus Harris dat van 1707 tot 1875 op dezelfde plaats gestaan heeft.
