Dartmouth Devon

Rococo organ case of 1789 by Micheau of Exeter.

The present site of the organ on the north side of the chancel which was once a chantry chapel dedicated to St George - it was moved from the west gallery in 1888 where it had been installed in 1787 with an new organist being paid £30 - It was paid for by the Corporation, the cost to be no more than £450

The first reference to an organ here is in 1431 when the bellows were repaired

Later parclose screens, bearing the arms and initials of James Pelliton, mayor in 1567-8, standard tracery with carved frieze to match the rood screen.

 

- Church of St Saviour, Dartmouth Devon
