From Historic Organs of the Barossa Valley, Volume 1:
The area around Nuriootpa was known as Angas Park well into the 1880s, although the township was laid out by William Coulthard in 1854. It is the central town of the valley and lies on the riverine flats of the North Para River. The first known service of St Petri congregation is said to have been beneath a large gum tree at Christmas in 1849. Their first church building was dedicated in 1867. As the congregation grew the church was enlarged and a tower was built in 1927. In 1961 it was decided to build a completely new church retaining the tower. This work was dedicated on 5 May, 1968. The first organ purchased in 1887 was sold to Holy Trinity and the present instrument installed by Mr Steve Laurie of Melbourne in 1968. Built as an electric extension organ, some of this work was removed in 1990 by George Stephens (Adelaide), and completed ranks added.
