Reredos

A reredos has been added to the village church of All Saints, Holton, Lincolnshire, by Mr Withers, at a cost of £300. The design consists of two sides of mosaic with angels in lozenge-shape figures, and in the centre a composition of a marble cross, in an aureole of mosaic flanked by rich mosaic panels. There is a strong Italian feeling in the whole. The cartoons and stonework were executed by Messrs. Bell, Redfern and Co., the actual mosaic by Salviati. [Building News 16 August 1867 page 568]

ALL SAINTS, HOLTON, LINCOLNSHIRE. — To this simple village church Mr. Withers has added a very excellent reredos. The sill of the east window was, as usual, very low. The design consists of two sides, of mosaic with angels in lozenge-shaped figures : and in the centre, a composition of a marble cross, in an aureole of mosaic, flanked by rich mosaic panels. There is a strong Italian feeling in the whole. The cartoons and stonework were executed by Messrs Bell, Redfern, and Co., the actual mosaic by Salviati. The cost was moderate: only £300.
