Yup, seems right accounting for a bit of wear - sounds more likely than a stop called 'Shite' anyway!

Thats is beautiful. First it reminded me of an old court room or house of commons if it hadn't been for the organ. The stops did make me squint too lol. Great mix of French & English stops there. Lovely stuff

Yes it’s a nice one, isn’t it? The woodwork is great, and the organ too. The pipes are still mostly there but now laid down on the floor. Doubt it will ever be played again.
