St Mary the Virgin's Church, Forthampton (Former Reredos)

This most unusual reredos was sited originally beneath the east window, and was made by Rev. William CALVERT, curate of Longdon 1842-46, as “poker-work”, which apparently means what it says - a design etched by a hot poker. It depicts Christ between two disciples at Emmaus, and it now makes an attractive feature against the wall of the south aisle.
