Symbols of the Four Evangelists above the altar table with the Adoration of the Lamb below. Greek text. Part of the memorial to the Countess of Maidstone.
designer: W. D. Caröe
artist: Frederick Brook Hitch
patron: Jenkinson

The scene showing the adoration of the lamb bears compositional similarities to the panel showing the adoration of the Lamb from the Ghent Altarpiece by Jan van Eyck.
