A 20th century marble reredos carved in high relief in the chancel of All Saints' church, Somerby.

It has four main carved panels of 'floral' design, the middle two are inscribed "I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE" with a wheat motif, the other "I AM THE TRUE VINE" with a grape motif.

The church is a very old building of stone showing portions with Norman work. It is somewhat unusual because the tower and the steeple are in the centre of the church. The church was restored in 1866. The church chancel was restored in 1885.
