This Marian Retable originally by Giles Gilbert Scott, had suffered from an unfavourable

makeover during the 1970's.

Above: Restoration of ornate lattice work to central apse. Greek ionic pediment is marbled to match that of altar below Retable.

Saints Peter & Paul Anglo-Catholic Church Rishton

We worked in close collaboration with the Vicar of Ss. Peter and Paul to fulfil his vision of the refurbishment for this stone reredos. We designed the stencilled Gold emblems inside each apse specifically for this reredos. 

Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, Accrington

The vacant chapel of ease at Huncoat had suffered damage to the reredos tabernacle and altar.  The Dean requested that we replace the altar top and refurbish the reredos to re-purpose as a Marian side chapel. The altar and reredos were installed at a new location.

Anglo-Catholic Church of the Ascension, Torrisholme

We worked closely with the Vicar at Torrisholme in rennovating this wooden Victorian side altar.

Jeanette designed a new decorative scheme for its re-dedication to the Holy Souls, and enhance its Architectural forms.
