The apsidal chancel was added in 1879 by James Edmeston and his son James Stanning Edmeston. James Edmeston's father (also James) was also an architect and taught G.G. Scott as an apprentice between 1826-31.
The apse contains a mosaic from 1880 by Salviati and Burke of Da Vinci's Last Supper with a modification to the background by Charles Barry, Jr.
