Excerpt from The Ecclesiologist, Vol. 3
In conclusion, we recommend that, whenever an organ is allowed, it be placed at the west end, either of the Nave or either Aisle, and on the ground. Then, the singers being rightly placed in the Chancel, it will not drown the voices nor make them dependent on itself: it will not require a gallery; it will not block up any window; it will make a more appropriate case necessary. This for parish churches. In cathedrals, perhaps the triforia might receive it, as at Canterbury, where the effect is admirable, except that it is too near the choir. Experience shows that organs are none the worse for being on the ground. Witness S. Peter's, Leeds, and S. Bartholomew's, Sandwich.
