In 1990/1991 plaatste de firma F.H. Browne & Sons het orgel uit Eastbrook Hall van de Methodist Mission in Bradford over naar de Wesley Methodist Church in Cambridge. Het instrument wordt toegeschreven aan Hill en werd in 1844/1845 gebouwd. In 1875 voerde Hill & Son een ingrijpende verbouwing uit. Verder werd het orgel nog gewijzigd door Hill in 1904 en door Marshall Sykes in 1959. Bij de overplaatsing naar Cambridge voerde Browne een reconstructie uit met veel uitbreidingen. Het oude orgel van de kerk, gebouwd in 1959 door Hill, Norman & Beard, is afgebroken.
