St. Stephen's Lewisham

G.G. Scott designed this church and it was built between 1863-65.


The reredos were designed by Scott's pupil Charles Buckeridge and carved by James Redfern. Salviati provided the mosaic tessarae that were installed to decorate the reredos by the firm of Clayton and Bell in 1873.
