61. HIGH ALTAR AND REREDOS PRS

The high altar and reredos are stunning, and worthy of closer examination. The five figures across the top are the welcoming Christ at centre with the four Church Fathers: from left St Jerome, St Gregory, St Augustine and St Ambrose.   The four figures across the bottom are Hugh of Lincoln and the East Anglia apostle St Felix, with a pair of accompanying angels.       INDEX

63. REREDOS DETAILS GA GA

64. EAST WINDOW J&J

The glass in this window is by Ward & Hughes. It shows Christ at the centre with Mary Magdalene and St Margaret of Antioch on either side. The remaining figures are angels dressed in colourful fabrics. Although it appears to be a stained glass window, the figures are actually painted on the glass. It was presented by Samuel Gurney Cresswell in 1866. The old glass in this window was a Jesse tree, which lasted until the 18th century. Some details of the East window can be seen here.
