The Twelfth on the Swell replaced the Echo Gamba
The Fifteenth on the Swell replaced the Viol d'Orchestre (now at 16' on the Great, replacing the original Viol di Gamba TC which was installed on the now broken up organ at St Phillip de Neri, North Bridge.
The Piccolo on the Choir replaced the Dulciana (now stored)
The Clarionet on the Choir is cheeked on. The documentation on the National Pipe Organ Register (NPOR) does not mention the Clarionet. It is likely that this stop was added later.

On 28 May 2025, the Grantham home burnt down and Ted Grantham perished in the fire. The Great Hall, behind the house, survived and the organ is to be removed and relocated. The house was demolished in December 2025, leaving only the Great Hall standing.
