The Kneelers
The kneelers were begun in 1953 and have been embroidered
by members of the congregation and their friends.
Each is designed to commemorate someone who was a worshipper
in this Church or in some way connected with it, thus Pope
Adrian IV is commemorated because he granted to the Abbey
of Westminster the grounds on which the Church stood and Bartholomew
Nutt because he ferried the faithful across the river to church
before there were any bridges. Some bear the Coat of Arms
others an illustration of an incident in the life, or foible
in the character, of the person commemorated.
There is a catalogue which may be consulted. The Church seats
400.
