- In de jaren 1789-1791 bouwde Samuel Green een nieuw orgel voor Lichfield Cathedral. Het werd in 1865 door Holdrich gewijzigd en uitgebreid, met name het Swell Organ is vergroot. In 1891 is het instrument verkocht en overgeplaatst naar de kerk van Saint John the Baptist in Armitage.
- In de loop van de tijd zijn hier ook wijzigingen uitgevoerd. De firma Bird verplaatste in 1908 het Choir Organ, waarmee het rugpositief verdween. Op Great Organ verving hij de Tierce, Sesquialtera en Furniture door een Gamba en twee Gedact-registers. Het orgel is in 1983 gerestaureerd. Er zijn twee lege slepen op de lades, op Great Organ en op Choir Organ.
