St. Mary's Parish Church, Black Torrington, Devon
History:
1791, John Avery
It was in South Brent (Brent Knoll) Parish Church, was transferred to Berrow
in 1881, and then, in 1903, here by Edward A. Donaldson, assistant curate.
Originally a barrel and finger organ, but the barrel mechanism is no longer extant though access panels at the rear show where it once was. This could be the time when it received a new case front.
