In 1966 bouwde de firma Walker & Sons een orgel voor Middleton Hall van de University of Hull in Kingston upon Hull. Het is een drieklaviers orgel. In 1995 is het vervangen door een electronisch orgel en verkocht aan de parochie Saint John the Evangelist in Bath. Het orgel is in 1996 door Robin Winn overgeplaatst. Matthew Copley herzag de intonatie. Het orgel is ingewijd in Bath met een concert door Nicholas Kynaston.
