South Molton, Exeter, UK

South Molton is located in the southwest of England, about an hour from Exeter. This postcard shows a straight-ahead view of the sanctuary of St Mary Magdalene in South Molton, including the chancel, with the organ facade visible to the left of the image.

NPOR states the instrument is by WG Vowles, but no year of installation is given. the only other detail besides the stoplist is the fact that the blower was electrified in 1934. No other restoration or rebuild information is provided. As described, the instrument seems a perfectly serviceable one, with plenty of foundation tone, and minimal upper work. The color picture of the church reveals stenciling on the facade pipes. My postcard is unused, black and white.
