On the past two attempts, the congregation of St. Alban’s have been particularly generous in their support, helping to raise over 10.000 kroner for Red- den in 2011, and in excess of 6.000 kroner for Save the Children last year. If you want to offer your support and encouragement this year, you can donate to UNICEF either by going direct to his Just Giving web page at: http://www.justgiving.com/Owen-Prewett2 or by giving your cash donation to him after which it will be transferred to his Just Giving account with a message to say where the money has come from. Owen knows that these are difficult times, and knows that you have given countless times – and that some of you have supported his efforts before – but asks you to please consider giving again. Any amount will help spur him on and make sure that children across the world get the help they so desperately need.

  • Terracotta Reredos, Pulpit and Font
    Terracotta reredos, pulpit and font The reredos, pulpit and font were gifts from the makers, Messrs Doulton of Lambeth in London, in 1886. They were executed in terracotta with glazed details to the designs of George Tinworth (see below). The font is placed by the door as a reminder that baptism is the start of our Christian journey. Four scenes represent Jesus in the manger, Hannah bringing Samuel to Eli, the finding of Moses, and the Saviour blessing little children. Four panels in between read “Ye shall not enter into / the Kingdom of Heaven / except ye be converted & become as little children”. Eight glazed decorative columns support the deep glazed font bowl. The pulpit is based on an octagonal design and the glazed columns and tiles can be seen at their best here. The terracotta base and top of the columns again show the attention to detail. The reredos is in the form of a triptych, with a shelf for the cross and candles. The central panel shows the Ascension and the side panels depict Christ appearing to St. Thomas and the Betrayal. High-relief figures stand against a low-relief background, with details of ascending doves and a town barely visible unless caught by the light. The panels are of the highest quality craftsmanship and detail and the terracotta has a warm glow. The Royal Doulton Company was an English company, founded in 1815, producing tableware and collectables. By 1871, the company launched a studio at the Lambeth pottery in London and offered work to designers and artists from the nearby Lambeth School of Art.

Doulton Lambeth Art Pottery - The Early Years By Roland Head y the late 1850s, the name Doulton was synonymous with the latest and greatest Bindustrial and sanitation wares. Henry Doulton had understood the need for high quality, large-scale production of glazed, non-porous stoneware drainage pipes before anyone else, and the pipes made at Doulton's Lambeth pipe works were a core component of the sewage networks that helped modernize Victorian London. Indeed, such was Doulton’s focus and pride in his industrial ceramics business that he brusquely rejected early suggestions from Lambeth Art School master John Sparkes that he might want to expand into the field of decorative arts. Sparkes reported the rejection back to the school’s founder, Canon Robert Gregory, who is said to have replied that such an attitude was to be expected “from a Dissenter with no feeling for beauty, interested only in the arid puritan gospel of hard work and thrift, and more concerned with saving his money than his soul.” Such a judgement is perhaps a little harsh, given that Henry Doulton played a significant role in the creation of an effective sewage network for London and other cities, and in so doing helped to save future genera- tions from the appalling cholera and typhoid epidemics that regularly broke out in UK cities at that time.
