The altar, reredos (the ornamental screen covering the wall behind the altar) and the east window are special gifts given by Daisy in memory of her parents.
From a previously cited pamphlet “A History of Hope Church” dated 1900, comes this description of the reredos . . .
The “glory” of the chancel is, of course, the altar and reredos. The altar is of Caen stone, rich in carving the Mensa being of white marble. Three steps, of colored marble, lead up to the altar. The reredos is also of Caen stone. It is Gothic, and consists of five panels, the central pinnacle being somewhat higher than the rest. A brass cross adorns the central panel, the other four being filled with the emblems of the Evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) in mosaic.
