Photo © Martin Crampin
1904
Five seated figures under canopies. Isaac is shown as a boy with Abraham.
designer: E. M. Bruce Vaughan
Church of St Margaret, Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taff
east wall of the sanctuary
Around the Caen stone sculpture various sources of marble and alabaster are used. Its cost of £250 was met by a Parishioner.
The church guide book attributes it as being to the design of the church architect E.M. Bruce Vaughan, but the piece is a close copy of the reredos at the Church of St John the Baptist, Cardiff, carved by William Goscombe John in 1891.
