One of the interesting features of St. Peter's Church is the organ. During Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth the pipes of the original instrument were sold for £5 apiece, and the case for 15s. Following the Restoration St. Peter's was the first church in the diocese of Exeter to replace its organ, and Christian Schmidt, one of a family of famous German organ builders, was commissioned to build another. The magnificent case was embellished by Grinling Gibbons, the outstanding artist in wood carving.
