THE VICTORIAN TILES IN THE SANCTUARY

During  the church  restoration under the Reverend M O Norman decorative tiles were laid around the alter at the east end of the chancel, the sanctuary. The restoration committee minute book tells us - '1875 May 16. Minton’s man came and commenced laying down the encaustic tiles in the chancel and finished the same on Monday May 23.' These are now much damaged and are covered by the carpet but here are pictures.
