He is not a resident of Peterborough. This organ has been built by Hill & Son, at a cost (including the case) of ^4,400. The action is tubular pneumatic, the wind being supplied by a gas engine. The Pedal (with the exception of two stops, Bourdon and Bass Flute), Great Solo and Swell Organs, are placed in four bays of the triforium on the north side ; the Choir Organ and two pedal stops above named are in the first bay of the north aisle beyond the stalls. The Console is in the second bay of th...e aisle. The organ com- prises 68 stops and 4,453 pipes. The Canopied Reredos or Baldachino was given by the eight surviving children of Dean Saunders as a memorial of their parents. The retable was given by the Old Boys of the King's School. The reredos is a magnificent erection, and renders the east end of this cathedral one of the most dignified in the kingdom. The dais on which it stands is thirteen feet square, and the summit reaches to the height of thirty-five feet. Four large marble columns stand at the corners, from the capitals of which spring cusped arches, the spandrels being enriched with mosaic ; while at the angles, above the columns, are figures of the Evangelists in niches.
