In 2003 plaatste de firma Willis het Wadsworth-organ uit de kerk van Heaton Moor over naar de kerk van Saint Peter te Ruthin in Wales. Het orgel is oorspronkelijk gebouwd voor de Royal College of Music in Manchester, en het werd in 1938 in Heaton Moor geplaatst. Willis maakte in 2003 een geheel nieuwe orgelkas, en herbouwde de mechanieken volledig. Op 5 september 2003 speelde Olivier Latry het orgel in.
