In the Census (Appendix) to Keys to the Kingdom this organ is given as a 15-stop instrument, but this was due to the transmission to us in the early 1990s of an incorrect stop list. The Project is grateful to Ms. Wong Kin Yu, organist of the church, for this correction as well as the photographs used here.
