Légende

The Reredos in the Cloister of Sherborne Minster, 1858. '...the new and elaborately-sculptured reredos executed for and erected in the choir of Sherborne Abbey Church represents but one of the numerous costly embellishments which, together with extensive works of a more substantial and. structural character, come under the general heading of restoration. The reredos in question is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable and extensive that have been erected in modern times. It is literally a maze of tabernacle and traceried sculpture, and this principally as a framework for the two large subjects in alto-relievo of the "Ascension" and "Last Supper," which form the main features of the work. The reredos was executed by Mr. James Forsyth, of London, from the designs of W. Slater, Esq., architect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
