Wonderful news: the Nanstallon organ has found a new home in mid-Cornwall, only ten miles from its original location!

In mid-November 2024, the 1920 J. Trudgian & Son pipe organ at Nanstallon Village Hall - previously the Methodist Church - was dismantled and transported to its new home: the St Austell Market House, opposite Holy Trinity Church. It is currently in storage, awaiting reassembly when funds permit (link to fundraiser below). However, once installed in this historic building, it is hoped that it will be used in concerts, by drama groups and so forth.
