The scarf is made in the UK, is 100% silk and comes in gift packaging.
The present altar and screen were erected between 1867 and 1873 after George Gilbert Scott’s design. The sculpted figures on the screen (Moses, St Peter, St Paul and King David) are by H.H. Armistead. Behind the altar is a mosaic of the Last Supper designed by J.R. Clayton and carried out by Antonio Salviati. The inscription along the top of the screen reads “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ” (from the book of Revelation).
