About the memorial: The memorial, given in 1929, was the High Altar complete with Riddel Posts and Riddels against the East Wall of the Sanctuary in the English Style as is shown on the dedication plaque. Sadly, the group has been broken up. The Altar has been pulled forward in slavish following of the Westward Facing movement, the Frontal has been replaced by a Fall and the Riddel Posts (minus their Riddels) have ended up in the North Chantry, where they are without purpose, thus exposing the earlier neo-Puritan writings on the East Wall.
