1. The second plaque was placed here because Durham School, being in the parish, worshipped here until it built its own chapel as a war memorial (See D47.20).
2. This organ is registered on the NPOR as No. N04170. It was installed in 1916 by Harrison and Harrison, whose books show it as a two manual organ. They actually built a three-manual organ, the Choir organ being the gift of the Harrison brothers.
3. At the time of the dedication, £100 was still outstanding. A series of concerts by high ranking organists was planned which, it was hoped, would provide the balance.
4. The list of names includes Pte. George Allan William Hulley, assistant organist of the church. (Church Guide)
5. The centenary of the dedication of the organ was held on Sunday 29th January 2017, which also included the 25th anniversary of Allan Coombes as organist.
