Organ

The organ was originally built in 1857 by Charles Brindley (Sheffield). One of his earliest organs, the influence of Edmund Schulze – whom Brindley met at the Great Exhibition of 1851 – is clear notably in the complete Diapason chorus of the Great.

The current organ is the result of several major rebuilds and regular additions. Its most recent additions are the Pedal Double Trumpet 16'; which was added in 2007, and a protective canopy; added in 2010.{{NPOR|id=N17023|desc=Yorkshire, West Riding Tickhill, St. Mary, St. Mary's Road|access-date=30 August 2022}}{{NPOR|id=R01727|desc=Yorkshire, West Riding Tickhill, St. Mary, St. Mary's Road|access-date=30 August 2022}}
