This is a superb example of the early work of T C Lewis of Brixton. Originally built for the Chapel of Wakehurst Place it was donated to St Andrew's by Ardingly Congregational Church where it stood until 2006. Described recently by the British Institute of Organ Studies as a "very beautiful small organ" it has a pretty architectural case, a versatile specification and a bright, ringing, full-voiced tone. Local Organ Builders FH Browne & Sons, who have looked after the organs at St Andrew's for well over a century, have sympathetically restored the organ and installed it in the All Souls Chapel (see illustration).
