- In 1888 bouwde F.C. Nicholson, orgelmaker in Newcastle-on-Thyn, een orgel voor de nieuwgebouwde Congregational Church aan Duke Street in Penrith. Mogelijk gebruikte hij bij de bouw materiaal van het oude orgel van Saint Andrews' Church, dat in 1887 was vernieuwd. Het orgel is zonder grote wijzigingen bewaard gebleven tot de sluiting van het kerkgebouw in 1990. De kerk is daarna omgebouwd tot een wooncomplex.
- Het orgel werd door de firma Rushworth & Dreaper gerestaureerd en herbouwd in de United Reformed Church aan Lowther Street.
