- William Drake is in 2018 gestart met de bouw van een nieuw orgel voor Chelsea Old Church. De planning is dat het in het najaar van 2019 in gebruik wordt genomen. De orgelkas is geïnspireerd op het werk van Renatus Harris, die in 1712 een orgel in Chelsea Old Church plaatste. Dit orgel werd in 1843 verkocht naar Holsworthy in Devon. De kas is nog altijd te bewonderen.
- Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd een nieuw orgel gebouwd door de firma Frederick Rothwell & Sons, dat in 1958 in gebruik is genomen. DIt orgel werd gebouwd met veel goedkoop materiaal, om de kosten te drukken. Het werd in 2018 afgebroken.
