Highbury Congregational Church, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

The Organ has 37 speaking stops and tremulants to both Swell and Great. The Great and Swell organs are under separate expression. The oak console is in the North transept, and the amplification and speaker systems are mounted inside the casework of the previous pipe organ at the East End.
