- Op 30 april 1966 speelde Francis Jackson een nieuw orgel in in Sheffield Cathedral. Het instrument was gebouwd onder zijn advies door de firma Noel Mander uit London. Bij de bouw was gebruik gemaakt van pijpwerk van Henry Willis uit 1877 voor zeventien stemmen, afkomstig uit het orgel van Saint Paul's Church, Bow Common in London. In 1969 breidde Mander het orgel uit met een Nave Division, bespeelbaar vanaf het derde manuaal. Deze uitbreiding werd in gebruik genomen op 14 oktober 1969 met een concert door Graham Matthews, organist van de kathedraal.
- In 1997 functioneerde het orgel niet meer optimaal. Een restauratie werd overwogen, maar men besloot het orgel te vervangen door een nieuw instrument. Er is gekozen voor een volledig digitaal orgel van het merk Phoenix. Het Phoenix-orgel is in de loop van de tijd enkele malen gereviseerd en voorzien van nieuwe digitale technieken.
