George Holdich (14 August 1816 – 30 July 1896) was a British organist and organ builder based in London. In 1851, he produced a pipe organ that was exhibited at the Great Exhibition. This photograph shows Holdich's best-known achievement, the new organ for Lichfield Cathedral, installed in 1861. The instrument, which has 52 stops, was the first in England to have a full pedal specification of stops as was customary among organs in continental Europe.Photograph credit: David Iliff
