THE NAVE ORGAN was built in 1905 by James Jepson Binns for Heckmondwike Upper Independent Chapel. In 1992 Wood of Huddersfield rebuilt it for Southwell Minster, installing it in the first four bays of the South Nave Triforium, incorporating the Tuba from the 1934 Hill Norman & Beard organ. The 1992 console is mobile and fitted with a multiplex transmission.

THE QUIRE ORGAN was built in 1996 by Nicholson & Company of Worcester. Containing some nineteenth- century ranks by John Nicholson, it possesses an English tone but a richly varied tonal scheme. Thus all organ music can be performed on it to great effect.
