St. Leonard Church, Hythe

This is a 13th century church that was remodeled over the years, including by G.E. Street in 1874-75 and J.L. Pearson in 1886. It is known for its subterranean ossuary, with bones dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries.

The pulpit was designed by Street and carved by Armstead in 1876. Salviati and Burke later added the mosaic decoration.

St Leonards' is no longer used for regular worship and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

St. Christopher's Chapel in the Great Ormond Street Hospital

Great Ormond Street Hospital is a children's hospital that famously received the rights to J.M. Barrie's play Peter Pan in 1929. Its chapel was designed by E.M. Barry and built 1871-76. It was moved to its present location in 1992 and reopened in 1994 by Diana, Princess of Wales.

The mosaic floor in the entrance is by Salviati and is said to be modeled after that of St. Mark's in Venice.

Parish Church of St. Peter Leeds

On February 21, 1865 - six years after starting his first mosaic workshop in Murano - Dr. Salviati gave a heartfelt lecture in front of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society about both the history of the craft of mosaic making, as well as about the benefits of the revolutionary new process that Lorenzo Radi developed for the Salviati-made pieces. Within just a few years, the local parish church would also be fitted with these mosaics.

Also known as Leeds Minster, this English Gothic style church was rebuilt in 1839-41 by architect R.D. Chantrell.

The east-end sanctuary (seen to the left of the central tower), which contains an arcade of Salviati mosaics possibly from 1876 depicting the twelve apostles, was renovated between 1870 and 1880 by G.E. Street. This seems to be a similar type of chancel expansion that was done in 1870 in the Gonville and Caius Chapel at Cambridge.

While Salviati's mosaics were always made of glass enamel tesserae, the central reredos of Christ in Glory surrounded by angels was made of colored marble and alabaster. It was designed by G.E. Street and executed by Thomas Earp and Rust in 1888 following cartoons by Clayton and Bell.

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

St. Andrew's was built 1876-80 after designs by architect Alexander Ross of Inverness.

An arcaded reredos lines the east wall with three Gothic cusped arches on each side of the altar framing a low relief and gablet of a Salviati mosaic of the Crucifixion.

Salviati is also believed to have manufactured the mosaic floors of the 1880 Baptistry.
