 On the 3rd of May, 1787, a commemoration of Handel was performed in St. Werburgh's Church by amateurs of the highest distinction, including Sir Hercules Langrishe, Baron Dillon, Surgeon Neale, Lady Portarlington and Mrs. Stopford.The present organ was first built by the local eighteenth century organ builder Ferdinand Weber and restored by Telford and Telford around 1870 within the case of the organ originally installed.The instrument comprises two manuals and pedals, with mechanical action throughout, and a total of fifteen stops, with one further stop prepared for but never inserted.
