Croydon, as these photos clearly show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organ at St Mildred\u2019s underwent a complete restoration recently, with the pipes from the Grand (West) Organ being taken from a local redundant church organ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both instruments are playable from the choir organ console at the east end of the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been an outstandingly successful project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
