- The organ at Saint Martin in Scarborough was built in 1889/1890 by the firm of Willis & Sons. It was taken into use on August 31, 1890. The organ case was taken over from the church's previous organ, which had been built by Thomas Harrison in the years 1865-1868. This organ was sold to Holy Trinity Church in Sunningdale.
- Over time, the Willis Organ has been modified in several revisions. In 2001, the company Principal Pipe Organs restored the organ to its original state.
