Description

Wooden reredos (now lost) of at least seven panels divided by fluted and engraved mullions. The inscription is painted in a continuous line along the top of the reredos. Mounted across the central three panels is a picture showing angels flanking a figure with a halo who is standing with arms outstretched before three kneeling people. The panels on either side of this bear a list of names written in gold paint, twenty-five names on the left and twenty-three on the right. These two panels are all that survive, and were removed from the reredos and mounted to a common backboard.
