From the Church leaflet:-
"The Chancel has a fine 19th century mosaic pavement depicting the Tree of Jesse (the family tree of Jesus) which ends with the Jesus sign infront of the High Altar. The background is white, the branches black and the names picked out in terracotta. It was designed by the architect Aston Webb in 1886. In the Sanctuary there are the names: Mary, Joseph, the "Jesus Symbol - IHS", plus Emmanuel, Messiah, Bread of life."
Unfortunately it is impossible to photograph the whole in one go unless hanging from the roof. The attached pictures 1 to 4 are from the Chancel, pictures 5 to 7 are from the Sanctuary.
