In 1905 bouwde Norman & Beard een orgel voor de kerk van Axminster. Het orgel had drie manualen en pedaal met 24 stemmen. De tractuur was pneumatisch. In 2000 startte de firma Deane met een ombouw en uitbreiding van het orgel. De tractuur werd geëlectrificeerd en de dispositie is uitgebreid tot 44 stemmen. Op 11 februari 2002 werd het orgel weer gewijd. Andrew Millington, organist van de kathedraal in Exeter gaf het inauguratieconcert.
