The Last Supper.

 

Beneath the East Window is a sculpture by Frank Roper (1914-2000), designed as a reredos for the altar. It depicts the Last Supper in gold painted aluminium.

 

In 1942 St Martin's was reduced to a smouldering ruin during a bombing raid on the city. The church stood desolate until restoration work began in 1961.
