Form 4A
(Rule 6.2)
Public Notice
(general form)
In the Consistory Court of the Diocese of Southwark
In the parish of St. Paul, Wimbledon Park, Wandsworth
Church of Wandsworth: St Paul, Wimbledon Park
NOTICE IS GIVEN that we are applying to the Consistory Court of the diocese for permission to carry
out the following:
Conservation and Restoration of the coloured and gilded C. E. Kempe high altar reredos, installed in 1907, to which Martin Travers added decoration in 1938, and the 1896 chancel rood screen, to which decoration was added by Ralph Covell in 1957. Additional selective gilding to the rood, which has not previously been coloured or gilded. The work would start with careful conservation cleaning and making repairs to any damage to the brattishing etc, and preservation of original decorative work. For the reredos, proposed cleaning and conservation of the faces and scrolls, reinstate (where missing) collars and border patterns, and restore where necessary the gilding. Reinstate the original 1907 Kempe shades of red and blue in place of the (duller) Travers shades. The screen will also start with conservation cleaning, polishing the woodwork and then restoring the current decorative scheme but, to match the proposed work on the reredos, to use the Kempe red and blue palette. For both reredos and screen, works will be completed by polishing all the woodwork with micro crystalline wax.
