Reredos in the Restored Church of Bedminster, 1856. 'View from a photograph by Mr. J. B. Hazard, of Bristol', of a sculpted panel made of Caen stone, in the church of St John, Bristol. 'The lower stage is a simple arcading, surmounted by a band of quatrefoils. Above are three large panels, surmounted by crocketed canopies, and sculptured with alto-relievo representations of the Nativity, Crucifixion, and Ascension of our Lord...The jamb columns of the panels and niches are of rouge-royal marble from the Pyrenees, which serves adm irably to relieve the statues within'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
