1890 New organ
Last evening in the ancient Church of Uplowman which nestles in the romantic valley about five miles north of Tiverton, was opened a new organ, subscribed for the parishioners at a cost of £250.
The instrument has been built by Mr Henry Fincham, of 150, Euston road, London, and its erection has occupied three months.
The stops are: – On the Great porgan; Open Dispasco, Stopdiapsan, salcional, Flute Harmonic, cerno di Basserto and on the swell: Gamba, lieblich Gedacht, Vax celeste, Vox Angelina, Principal and Oboe.
Then there are Pedal Organ, beurdon, and Lisblich Flute; and the organ has also a coupler, swell, great swell, swell to pedal, great to pedals, super-octave, and four composition pedals.
The organ has been very carefully voiced and suited to the church, and produces a beautiful tone, unusually “mellow” for a new instrument.
On the outside is an artistically finished, the pipes being bright metal, and the case pitch-pine.
