St Peter's Ad Vincula Church, Coggeshall, Essex, Reredos       1880

22.10.1880   
The Chelmsford Chronicle reports “DEDICATION OF THE NEW REREDOS – On Monday last the handsome new reredos which has recently been placed in the parish church as a memorial to the late vicar, the Rev. W. J. Dampier, was unveiled. The new reredos is from the design of Mr. Ewan Christian, the architect under whom the restoration of the church has been carried out, and has been executed by Mr. Forsyth, sculptor, of Finchley-Road, Hampstead. It consists of three main groups, executed most beautifully in high relief in Caen stone – the sacrifice of Isaac; the crucifixion of our Lord; the institution of the Passover. Flanking these groups, executed also in Caen stone, are bold figures of the archangels – Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. The exquisite feeling imparted to the various figures of the three groups , the expression and dignified beauty of the single figures, lift them from being mere details of architectural ornament to the much higher level of genuine works of art, while the architectural effect of the whole is most admirable and is in entire keeping with the grand old church of which it is now the crowning ornament. The cost of the work as it left the sculptor’s studio was £300 “
