The Organ at All Saints

 

The Organ in All Saints’ is one of the loveliest in London containing some delightful flute, string and diapason pipework and marvellous fiery reeds.

 

The organ was installed in All Saints in 1953 by the East End organ builder, Noel Mander as part of war damage refurbishments. Much of the pipework, by the South-London firm of Hunter had previously stood in Clapton Congregational Church although the choir organ section was new by Mander. The organ and choir gallery, designed by the church architect of the time Cecil Brown) is sited high on the West Wall of the Church. The status of All Saints’ as a Civic Church (Poplar Borough offices had been located in Newby Place) was marked by the royal coat of arms now to be seen on the organ gallery, but which was originally positioned on the capital over the altar.

 

The organ, which comprises three manuals plus pedals with electro-pneumatic action, is presently maintained by Martin Cross Organ Builder of Grays, Essex.
