Pipe Organ Preservation Co. (of Ireland)
Preserving and rehousing redundant pipe organs from the island of Ireland
Leckpatrick Church of Ireland, Strabane, Co. Tyrone
A 5 stop chamber organ mainly dating from the 1871 Walker rebuild but containing earlier parts was acquired from a church in Wales who needed the space for disabled access. After a period of months serving as a temporary organ in Donaghadee Parish Church Co. Down and subsequently St Mary's Star of the Sea, Whitehouse, Co.Antrim, it was fully restored and installed in Leckpatrick Church of Ireland, Strabane, Co.Tyrone in 2004.
