The Organ
Main article: Organ of St Mary's Church (Tickhill)
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.
The current organ is the result of several major rebuilds and regular additions most recently the Double Trumpet in 2007.
