G.G. Scott designed the altar and reredos that were erected in 1867. The mosaic of The Last Supper is by Salviati based on a cartoon by John R. Clayton, while the sculptures are by Henry Hugh Armstead.
An article in The Illustrated London News from 1867.
The reredos circa 1870-90.
The Salviati reredos today.
Prince William and Kate Middleton got married in front of this altar in April 2011.
