In 1944 a Mosquito aircraft returning

The War Damages Commission rebuilt the church in 1953 to a
Neo-Georgian design by the well known
The Rector, the late Revd H G B Folland,
who had arrived in Bawdeswell only a few weeks before the plane crash, showed
great fortitude in organising the building of the new church.
The completed church was dedicated by the Bishop of Norwich,
the Revd P M Herbert, on 27th September 1955.
The
pipe organ situated on the west end gallery was built originally by Norman
Beard of
It
had two manuals and pedal and was typical of the period.
The
organ was rebuilt in the church by Boggis organ
builders in 1954 after the church authorities acquired the organ after the
death of Miss Fellows at the age of 93.
The
organ was fitted with a new case in keeping with the overall church scheme,
designed by J Fletcher Watson.
The
pipe organ was very limited giving little support to the congregation and was not
very accessible for general maintenance and tuning.
After
such long service the organ was in need of urgent repair.
The
Rector, PCC and organist took the opportunity to review the situation and after
careful consideration, advice and consultation a new digital custom built organ
was commissioned from Makin Organs based on the Johannus
conservatoire design with some tonel adjustments.
The
organ has been installed within the existing organ case on the west end gallery.
Boggis
carried out the necessary work to the case including lime waxing and re
spraying the display pipes.
The
console is made from dark oak with light oak fittings, stop panels and key
cheeks along with wooden based keyboards, English blind pistons, dark oak
wooden stop-heads and most importantly an adjustable bench.
