Narrative

1950
The next major changes came in 1950 and these were designed by one of the best known firms of ecclesiastical architects, Messrs. Nicholson & Rushton of Lincolns Inn.
The Sanctuary
The sanctuary was brought forward with a new communion rail; the chancel steps were also moved forward along with the choir stalls, the pulpit moved to the position in which it was until 2009, and the wooden screens behind the choir stalls and at the front of the chancel were added.
Side Chapel & Windows
The box pews in the north east and south east corners were removed and the side chapel was created. The four lovely stained glass panels were added to the east window and a small window based upon John the Baptist added high in the north side of the chancel.
The Baptistery
At the rear of the nave the baptistery was repositioned and the rear doors replaced.
