Thanks to the determination of local supporters and the expertise of Harrison & Harrison, the organ was fully restored in the early 21st century.
Every pipe, valve, and lead tube was examined, cleaned, and rebuilt; the delicate pneumatic action carefully repaired; and the façade pipes stripped of later paint to reveal their original gilded splendour. Where original pipework was missing, research into other Norman & Beard instruments ensured faithful replacements.
Today, more than a century after its first notes sounded, the Moot Hall organ once again fills Colchester with the commanding voice of Edwardian grandeur. It stands as both a tribute to the ingenuity of its makers and to the persistence of those who fought to save it.
