Organ

The church has a single manual pipe organ which was purchased from St. Winifred's Church, Kingston on Soar in 1936 for a total cost of £29. It was originally hand pumped at a salary of 15 Shillings per year. An electric blower was fitted in 1946.[4] It was moved to the north aisle in 1973. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. [5]

Bells

There are three bells in the tower but they are of irregular interval so when chimed together they do not sound musical.[6]
