Summary

Description
English: The reredos in St Peter's Cathedral in Adelaide carved by Nathaniel Hitch.This reredos is made from solid English oak and is 10.4m high. It was made at St Sidwell’s Art Works in Exeter, England by Herbert Read Company and designed by the architect, T.H.Lyon. Nathaniel Hitch carried out all the carving which consists of five panels around which are eighteen niches holding coloured and gilded figures. The central panel depicts Christ Reigning in Glory and below this are four panels each one covering an incident in St Peter’s life. The statues in the niches at the top of the reredos represent four Archangels, St Uriel, St Michael, St Gabriel and St Raphael. We have statues of the Saints, George, Patrick, Andrew and David and then Edward the Confessor, The Venerable Bede and St Augustine of Canterbury. We then have Martha of Bethany, Catherine of Alexandria, Barbara, Margaret of Antioch, St Agnes and finally the Virgin Mary as a teenager with her mother Anne and then as a mother with the infant Jesus.At the very bottom of the reredos we have panelling upon which are carved the emblems of the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
