Before they Call I will Answer
and While They Are Yet Speaking I Will Hear.
The stained glass window above the altar is in memory of Mr. Charles
Clarke and was paid for by his widow. The central compartment is
a representation of Christ on the Cross, to the left are two apostles
and to the right Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene.
Immediately below the window is the reredos, divided into three
and surrounded by a cornice of Derbyshire marble, with pilasters
in relief. "The panels of the recesses are ornamented, the
central one with a cross, those at the sides with geometrical designs,
the effect of the whole being heightened by bosses of local spars
and marbles"[1].
Mr. Edward Beaumont, who lived for some time at the New Bath Hotel,
was very generous when the Church was built. Not only did he contribute
to cost of the fabric and the organ but he also provided the communion
plate. Two vicars, Rev. Pelly and Rev. Barker, jointly paid for
a burnished brass lectern that was installed after alterations to
the Church[1].
Although this card contains no message, it was posted at Matlock
Bath on 27 July 1908 to a Miss Aspell in Leicester.
