Inside St Michael & All Angels Church, Clifton Hampden
The chancel is what was expected, with opulent 19th century fittings including a splendid metalwork screen and reredos with mosaic scenes. On the north side of the sanctuary is a very large canopied tomb recess with the recumbent figure of G H Gibbs who presumably paid for all this finery. The most intriguing item was however a relief of three animals and a man who is holding up the tail of the central beast with his hand. This is supposedly a boar hunt.
