The parish church must have possesed an organ many years prior to 1535 (the first year of the accounts), as a new one, to replace an old instrument, was purchased in 1538-1539. It was repaired in 1560-1561. The present organ was supplied about 1844. A bass viol was bought in 1766-1768 for 8 shillings, strings for it and "reed for the heatboy" are frequent entries in the accounts till the end of the century. A new hautboy was bought about 1844.
