- Voor de Holy Trinity Church in Kendal bouwde 'Father' Bernhard Smith in 1702 een nieuw orgel. Hij plaatste het aan de westzijde van de kerk op de orgelgalerij. Dit orgel is in 1846 tijdelijk op de kerkvloer geplaatst en omgebouwd door Samuel Renn. De galerij is verwijderd bij een restauratie van de kerk, en daarna is het orgel in 1852 geplaatst naar de oostzijde van de kerk, in de Bellingham Chapel. Dit oude orgel werd in 1877 vervangen en verkocht aan Saint Cuthbert's Church in Darwen. Hier werd het orgel in 1878 geplaatst door de firma Jardine & Co.
- In 1908 is het orgel door de firma Alexander Young gerenoveerd. In 1958 voerde J.H. Cowen een restauratie uit. Hij plaatste een nieuwe vrijstaande speeltafel met electropneumatische tractuur. De firma Rushworth & Dreaper renoveerde het instrument in 1985.
