- Het pijporgel van de kerk van Saint Mary in Higham Ferrers werd oorspronkelijk in 1877 gebouwd als drieklaviers orgel door de firma Brindley & Foster. In 1929 is het geheel herbouwd door Hill, Norman & Beard. Het oude front bleef grotendeels bewaard. Het nieuwe orgel zou ook drie manualen krijgen, maar het Choir Organ werd niet geplaatst. In 1988 is het instrument door Norman Hall gemoderniseerd en herbouwd met drie manualen en pedaal en 33 stemmen.
- Het orgel is in 2008 afgebroken en opgeslagen. Peter Collins leverde in 2010 een nieuw hybride orgel, waarbij een twaalftal stemmen uit het oude orgel weer gebruikt werden, aangevuld met zo'n dertig digitale stemmen.
