  • Saint Margaret's Church in Bodelwyddan, nicknamed the Marble Church, was built in the years 1856-1860. The money for the construction was donated by Lady Margaret Willoughby de Broke in memory of her late husband. A small organ was placed in the gallery on the west side of the church. This was replaced around 1965 by a larger organ, built by the Cowin company from Liverpool. This organ was also located in the gallery, but the console was placed in the choir of the church. When restoration was necessary, the organ was replaced by a digital Allen organ in 2017.
  • In 2019, another pipe organ was installed in the gallery, which is comparable in size to the church's first organ. It was built in 1851 by John Laycock for the Baptist Chapel in Sutton-in-Craven, and was relocated to the Baptist Chapel in Cowling Hill, Yorkshire in 1873.
