In 1910, some seventeen years after the first dedication, a new phase was entered during which some of the now familiar and much loved decorative features were added to the church building under the supervision of Frederick Bligh Bond and his partner Ellery Anderson.

Although we do not have an account of Fr Newell Long's overall vision for the decoration of the church, we can see its component parts through correspondence with the architect and in the context of the Faculty Petition in which the PCC petitioned 'To erect and place a Rood screen in the chancel; to place new choir stalls in the chancel; to remove the present organ for the purpose of rebuilding the same in a new chamber; to place screens in the arches north and south of the choir'.

In fact Canon Long with Bligh Bond had a far more extensive scheme in mind to place a highly elaborate screen and loft across the entire chancel arch...

The present screen to the Guild chapel was added in 1914, designed by Bligh Bond.

An extensive scheme for a new east wall reredos was also designed at this time...

None of this was achieved and it was therefore only the Rood Beam and figures that were placed in 1910-1912.

At the same time, in 1910-1912 the Lady Chapel was created.

Within the Lady chapel a new reredos, the work of Martin Travers and Robert Hitch, was created and commemorates Thomas Proud, the architect.

1921, a quarter of a century and a World War after the dedication of the church, a further stage was reached...

In October 1921, a new reredos was put in place and dedicated. It is free standing and seems like the rood beam originally intended...

Fr Long left the parish shortly after the dedication of the reredos and although there continued to be correspondence nothing further was ever done.
