David S. Knight first presented this material as part of a paper for a meeting of the British Institute of Organ Studies held in November 2009, in the City of London. The paper was given in the church of St Dunstan in the West where the organ, although not destroyed in the war, was rebuilt shortly after it by Willis & Co. The organ has recently been restored by David Wells and remains as an example of mid-twentieth century English organ building.
