About the memorial: Reredos with 5 column marble tablet mounted onto wood with brass plaque, it is on the right hand side of the altar. The reredos "was carved by the notable sculptor George Frampton in 1920 (his monogram and date are in the bottom right corner). It features the crucifixion of Christ with his mother Mary and John, his disciple, standing at the foot of the Cross. Above Jesus' head is the inscription 'I[esus] N[azaremus] R[ex] I[udaeroum] [translates as 'Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews], which is the Latin form of the charge described as being fixed to the Cross in John 19.20. The reredos is flanked by a pair of Corinthian columns to each side, between each pair is displayed the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet: Jesus is called the 'Alpha and Omega' three times in the Book of Revelation (in 1:8, 21:6 and 22.13). The grey green marble to either side of the Altar is Varallo marble from Pedmont, northern Italy"
