- De Church of Saint Maurice in York was een middeleeuwse kerk, die in 1870 werd vervangen door een nieuw gebouw, ontworpen door Charles Fisher. De firma Henry Willis bouwde in 1880 een orgel voor deze kerk. Het kerkgebouw is in 1966 gesloten in 1967 afgebroken, nadat de parochie was samengevoegd met Saint Thomas' parish.
- In 1967 is het orgel door de firma Walker & Sons overgeplaatst naar Saint John University, waarbij het is gewijzigd en gemoderniseerd. In 2011 is het geplaatst in de Chapel of Saint John the Evangelist.
