Thomas Christopher Lewis (1833-1915) was initially trained as an architect and began organ building around 1861. The firm of Lewis & Co. was established in Brixton, South London in 1868, and by 1900 Lewis and his team of craftsmen had built around 600 organs which were famed equally for the exceptional quality of their workmanship and brilliant vibrant tone. Lewis was influenced by the organs of Edmund Schulze in Germany and this is seen in the flue choruses and Germanic ranks such as the Geigen Principal and Lieblich Gedact.
