St. John the Evangelist

Coulsdon Parish Church - Old Coulsdon, Surrey

You are in the Chancel of the old church. Turn half left or right for stained glass windows of the Evangelists, left or right for the memorials in the north and south walls, half right for the piscine and sedilia or about for the nave, move forwards to the altar or click the image for a close up of part of a table.

This image shows the altar about to be furnished for a service when the candles have temporarily been moved back and the dust cover has been removed. Either side of the reredos are tables of the Ten Commandments. These were at one time lit by carriage lamps given by Princess Louise, a daughter of Queen Victoria. In front of the altar is a lectern. The plate on the left wall records the donation of the altarpiece.

Since this was taken, a hymn numberboard has been donated and fixed to the left hand pillar.
