Tour audio The Sneltzler Organ

It is probable that an organ was here as early as 1400. The first known organist was here from 1492 to 1508.

In the mid-16th century there were two organs in St Laurence.

In 1764 John Snetzler, a Swiss organ builder living in London, completed the heart of today's organ at a cost of £1,000 (about £110,000 in today's money).

In the19th Century the organ was restored and moved to the North Transept.

In 2006, improvements were made to  the console, and a set of pipes added to re-create one of the stops of the original Snetzler organ, which was removed in the 19th Century.
