A tiled reredos with mosaic elements in the chancel of St Bartholomew's church, Bobbing.
During the a re-ordering of the church in 2016, the old wooden reredos panel was removed exposing the tiling and inscription below the east window, hidden for over 150 years.
"In 1863 the Victorian architect undertook work on the church that was described a non-essential however the work conducted is not well documented. The work known to be conducted was the addition of the red and black tiling throughout, repairs to the pillars and uncovering of a carving of a French monk commissioning a deacon which had been hidden for many years before. Other additions were the current pews, the wooden reredos behind the altar table and other general repairs were carried out at this time."
