Work For London Church Named After Devon Saint

An artist and a blacksmith, near neighbours in Bideford, are playing a part in the re-building of a church in Whitechapel, London, dedicated to a Devon saint, St. Boniface.

The church was completely demolished during the war by a bomb dropped during the German blitz.

Mr. Lloyd, whose church decoration work is becoming increasingly known, was invited to design the 36-feet long Communion rails, an oratory screen and pulpit carvings. The pulpit will be of pre-cast concrete with slate panels, and Mr. Lloyd will himself carve the panels in his Bideford studio.
