St Clements Church

photo of St Clements Church Description:
What on the outside is a quiet building is inside full of top quality art from 1890’s. The chancel roof is by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones (reputedly one of only three in England, another is Jesus College Cambridge). There are Burne-Jones guesso angels all down the nave. Morris designed the pulpit with its portrait of St Clement. Beside the altar are giant oil paintings, one of the visit of the Magi and one of the Crucifixion by W M Palin. The reredos is a mosaic by Salviate of Venice.
And the stained glass windows in the sanctuary are by Charles Eadmer Kempe.
Worth looking at the memorial to Sarah Whittuck at the rear of the church too.
