William Hill, the founder of the firm, has been described as the most powerful influence in raising British organ building to a peak of perfection. Dying in 1870 at the age of 81, he was succeeded by his son Thomas Hill (d.1893) who in turn was succeeded by his son Arthur George Hill (d.1923). In 1892, this two-manual instrument was enlarged to a three-manual organ of twenty-nine speaking stops. At that time the player would be seated at the console beneath the instrument with his/her back to the choir. In order to obtain access to the organ stool, the organist was obliged to pass through the back row of the (decani) choir stalls via hinged back and seating panels, still in situ but now rendered immovable. Regrettably, [across London] little of William Hill's and William Hill and Son's work has survived in its original condition and in this respect the St. Mary's organ is no exception. The existing organ gave valiant service until 1949 when it was announced that funds were needed in order not only to renew the action but also to 'modernise' the instrument. The work was entrusted to Rushworth and Dreaper of Liverpool who rebuilt the organ in order to incorporate a detached console to be placed in the North transept. Although the rebuild involved much rearrangement of the interior of the instrument, only two ranks of the original Hill pipes were replaced, with a third rank being revoiced. A further rank of pipes was merely re-positioned and hence retained; consequently, the greater part of the original Hill pipework has been preserved. The newly-installed electric action lasted until the early 1990s by which time it was becoming increasingly unreliable and a source of considerable stress and frustration to the organist. The necessary work of restoration was completed in 1993 by F.H.Browne and Sons of Canterbury, a small firm with a high standard of workmanship. They subsequently installed the solo reed and are now responsible for the periodic tuning and general well-being of the instrument. The present organ of thirty-nine speaking stops, whilst not an 'unspoilt Hill', nevertheless owes much to the original builders: William Hill and Sons of London. It is considered by some to be the finest instrument of its kind in Bromley and certainly one to be preserved for (and by) future generations of worshippers at St. Mary's.
