The High Altar
The High Altar

The High Altar has a table top (Mensa in latin) which is inscribed with five crosses marking the consecration. The crosses represent the five precious wounds of Christ on the Cross.

Around the Altar is the Retable. The inset circular stones are Derbyshire Bluejohn in orange and purple. Originally, the gables had foilate terminations, of which one remains.

The Aumbrey

 Above the Aumbrey hangs an anitique gilded Lamp - constantly lit - by which we recall the Presence of our Lord in the Bread consecrated at the Altar.

The Lamp was given as a memorial to Canon David Diamond, Rector of St. Paul's Deptford. This is where Fr Paul Williamson served his title as a Curate.
