Légende

New Organ in the Restored Abbey Church, Sherborne, Dorset, 1856. A '...splendid instrument just completed by Messrs. Gray and Davison...The Organ is inclosed in a very handsome carved oak case, designed by the late Mr. R. C. Carpenter, the architect...the diapering, which is handsome and appropriate, was designed by Mr. W . Slater (Mr. Carpent er's successor)...This instrument, though spoken of as an organ, is in truth an elaborate combination of instruments, comprehending no less than four distinct organs - the choir organ...the great organ, the pedal organ, and the swell organ...This substantial addition to the attractions of this splendid church will cost upwards of 1000 guineas, and three and a half years have elapsed since the idea of it was first originated'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
