the reredos beneath the east window in the main chancel is another reminder of the tragedy of the first world war. it was given in 1925 by mr and mrs matthews of wyke house in memory of two of their sons who were both killed in the war. further examples of the work of nathaniel hitch (1846–1938), the sculptor responsible for the reredos, may be seen in westminster abbey and truro and bristol cathedrals.
