St Mary the Virgin, Charminster, Dorset Built in 1906, the organ has moved twice before settling in its 'forever' home in 1957. It was rebuilt in 1985 and brought up to modern (for the time) standards but was damaged by floods in 2000, which necessitated a full restoration. It now sits 50cm above floor level which proved successful in avoiding repeat flooding in 2014.
