The Thamar Organ.

Uploader's Comments

The case is believed to date back to before 1630 (maybe much earlier – 1580 has been mentioned) and some of the pipework may at least pre-date the Commonwealth. The painted front pipes belong to the Thamar organ first built for the church's patrons, Pembroke College Cambridge, by Thomas Thamar in 1674. Mendelssohn is believed to have given lessons to Caroline Attwood when he visited her elder brother George Attwood, then Rector.
