Reredos in the chancel of St Peter's church, Budleigh Salterton.
The church was built in 1893 by Devon born architect G H Fellowes Prynne in a free Early English style. Built of grey stone with yellow stone dressings. The reredos is carved in high relief and was made by by Nathaniel Hitch.
"Hitch carved a reredos in Ancaster stone, which can be seen in the east end of the church. The central panel of the reredos shows the Good Shepherd and on either side relief panels feature the "Annunciation" and "Nativity." Four central shields carry the symbols of the evangelists. The reredos was dedicated by the Bishop of Crediton in July 1931."
