Lewis & Co

Lewis was strongly inspired by the organs built in Germany by Edmund Schulze and in France by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.

[2] Lewis left the firm before 1900, but it continued to maintain the standards set by its founder.

T. C. Lewis continued to build organs for some time after leaving the firm that he had founded.

A man called Thynne was dismissed (most likely) from Lewis's in 1881 and when he and Michell set up their short-lived company they managed to persuade a good number of Lewis staff, including his foreman, George Adams to defect to them.

One surviving Adams & Son organ can be found in East Farleigh Church, in Kent.
