  • Broad Street Congregational Church in Reading was built as an Independent Chapel in 1707. A new frontage was built in 1892 and the chapel was expanded. In the same year a new organ was installed by Peter Conacher. It is a two-manual organ with sixteen registers. The church building was closed in 1991. The buildings have been sold and are now used by the Waterstones bookstore.
  • The organ was restored by Fokke Feenstra in 1995 and was then installed in the Sankt Michaeliskirche in Lingen (Ems). During the restoration, Feenstra replaced Great's Dulciana 8' with a Mixture. The organ in Lingen was dedicated on 18 May 1996. In 2002 the church had to be closed. The church building is currently in use under the name Kulturforum Lingen. In 2003 the organ was transferred to the Christ-Königkirche in Lingen-Darme.
