At the instigation of the late Sam Mygatt and in loving memory of him, funds have been raised to replace three alabaster statues and repair the altar screen behind them. Sculptor Simon Verity has fashioned from Ninian Comper’s drawings replacement statues of saints Genevieve of Paris, Eulalia of Mérida, and Teresa of Ávila. Our Building Commission has contracted with Decorative Art Restoration of Salem MA to re-paint parts of the altar screen and clean the statues which have accumulated a century of soot. Julian Bullitt has made a display indexing the statues.
