From the church history website at (

The most striking feature of the nave is the mosaic above the chancel arch commemorating the restoration of the church. (The total cost of the restoration was £500). The Rector of the day, Rev. Sale, and his wife went specially to Ravenna to choose the mosaic , a copy of the 5th century mosaic in the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, and an Italian craftsman was appointed to undertake the work.
