- In 1877 Henry Speechly supplied an organ for the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Paignton. The instrument was already replaced in 1899, and was then transferred to the church of Saint Andrew. In 1903 the organ was expanded with a Voix Celeste on Swell by the Spraggs Brothers. They transferred the Corno di Bassetto from Great to Choir as Clarinet.
- In 1938 the organ was rebuilt as a two-manual organ with pneumatic action by the company Osmond & Co. A restoration was carried out in 1998 by Deane Organ Builders.
