The organ of Brentwood Cathedral was rebuilt and enlarged by Percy Daniel & Co Ltd of Clevedon for installation in the new cathedral, dedicated in 1991. It was sited at the west end of the original Gothic nave of Brentwood’s Victorian Catholic church, in a case designed by the architect of the new cathedral, Quinlan Terry. It is now a fine exponent of the English Romantic tradition, suited to the performance of organ music of all periods, varied accompanimental purposes, as well as recital and concert work.
