[3] After training with Stanley Lambert of Nicholson & Co Ltd and J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd,[5] in around 1947 he started organ-building himself in Birmingham.
[3][6] Williamson then established his organ-building practice in an old flint barn in the village of Trunch in 1950, which had previously been occupied by a rural craftsman, Hector Benson.
[3] Another early instrument was enlarging and installing an 1808 William Gray organ from St Leonard's, Marston Green into Trunch Church.
[21] Arnold's early work was mostly to update and rebuild existing organs: in 1927 (when he was described as being of Chelmsford), he overhauled the undated A.
[22] Probably in the same year, Arnold restored the Theodore Charles Bates instrument at St Thomas, Bradwell-on-Sea, although there is some uncertainty about the exact date.
[35][36] The most notable instrument is that in St Mary's, Little Walsingham, built in 1964 after the devastating fire of 1961 (destroying the church's early Casson organ).
[38][39] In 1996, that organ was removed and replaced by an electronic instrument, and was installed in St Martin, Welton le Marsh, Lincolnshire by Holmes & Swift.
[49] Hyatt continued to build and restore organs, working with Paul Skellern in 1982 on the instrument in St Martin's, Fenny Stratford, Bletchley.
