The Church of St Pancras, Widecombe in the Moor (also known as 'The Cathedral of the Moor'), previously had a one-manual instrument c. 1880 (builder unknown). The two-manual Nelson organ (1910) which replaces it was on loan to the Cathedral from builder, Martin Renshaw (1964, English), through the ‘Pipe Up for Pipe Organs’ scheme. Martin discussed his work with us earlier this year

The recital on Saturday 16 November will feature four organists – including Christ Church Cathedral's Senior Organ Scholar, George Balfour (2023, Music).
