THE RESTORATION OF THE REREDOS
‘This ornate reredos, with documentary evidence
suggesting it was designed by C E Kempe or a contemporary of his (G F Bodley or
Skipworth) was presented to the church in 1897. Historically and artistically
it is of significant importance, and is the most distinguished furnishing in
Holy Trinity church. Its future needs to be considered with care, for as time
passes this reredos will become more and more important both artistically and
historically.’
~ Peter Martindale, Institute of Conservation, 2009

We would like to express our thanks to those who contributed towards the church reredos appeal. The monies raised provided for necessary restoration to the reredos as well repairs to and repainting of the paneling on the Sanctuary and cleaning of the altar. The work involved was detailed and painstaking but the end result was well worth the effort and has revealed more clearly the beauty of our fine Sanctuary.
