Thomas Hill organ
The Thomas Hill organ was bought in 1990 by the Pieterskerk. This exceptional English organ comes from the St. John Church Brownswood Park in London. It was built in 1883 by the famous organ maker Thomas Hill and is essentially still in its original state. This organ has 31 stops, 3 manuals (Great, Choir, Swell) and a pedal.
The organ is given a location in the south choir aisle that was carefully chosen for acoustic and historical reasons: this used to be where the old choir organ was situated before it was moved to the Marekerk in 1733.
The Hill firm enjoyed great fame as makers of English cathedral organs. After the restoration of the Thomas Hill organ by Orgelmakerij Steendam from Roodeschool, Leiden has another magnificent organ.
