| 説明 | Chapel.The reredos (a panel behind the altar) is the Sir Henry Doulton Memorial by one of the factories most skilled craftsmen – George Tinworth. It was made 1898-99 in terracotta. Each panel is 3.2m high x 1.24m wide, signed with Tinworth’s monogram of a ‘G’ entwined with a ‘T’.The historic chapel was officially reopened and blessed in February 2016 after eight months of painstaking restoration. The work has preserved the Grade II listed chapel’s unique features, some of which date back to when St Thomas’s Hospital opened on its current site in 1870 – opposite the Houses of Parliament. The February ceremony was conducted by the Right Reverend Nigel Stock, Bishop at Lambeth, which was very appropriate because the hospital is so close to Lambeth Palace.Memorials in the chapel remember people who have played important roles in the hospital’s history, including:the terracotta triptych above the altar, a memorial to Sir Henry Doultonthe ‘Good Samaritan’ relief by George Tinworth from the Doulton factory in Lambeth, which was created in memory of Sarah Wardroper, matron of St Thomas’ for 33 yearsa statue of St Thomas Becket, after whom the original hospital at London Bridge was nameda memorial to the nurses and junior medical officers who ‘died in the discharge of their duties’a memorial to Florence Nightingale who established the Nightingale Training School at St Thomas’. |
