St Francis RC Church, Acklam, Middlesbrough

The Organ has 37 speaking stops and tremulants to both Swell and Great. The Great and Swell organs are under separate expression. The dark oak console is on the West end gallery and the amplification and speaker systems are within the case work of the old pipe organ, which was a small extension instrument.
