The pipe organ in St Augustine's church, Inglewood, was built by master organ-builder George Fincham in 1878 and was installed in St Augustine's church in the same year. Fincham, the son and grandson of London master organ-builders, was Victoria?s leading organ builder in the latter half of the nineteenth century, building approximately ninety new organs in the state.
The Organ is a two-manual organ of thirteen stops and remains virtually intact. It belongs to a group of organs built between 1874 and 1882 and which characterise Fincham's 'second period'.
