Built by: William Drake (2007)
In 1900 bouwde Henry Jones een nieuw orgel voor de kerk van Saint Giles in the Fields in Bloomsbury. Bij de bouw werd veel pijpwerk overgenomen van het vorige orgel van de kerk, gebouwd door Gray & Davison (1856/1884). In dit orgel was echter ook nog pijpwerk van Father Smith aanwezig, overgenomen uit een nog eerder orgel uit 1671. William Drake voerde in de jaren 2005-2007 een reconstructie uit.
