Altar #4
GB ARCHON 2913 NTM-02-01-26 · Item · c1960s
Part of Northampton Diocesan Travelling Mission - Fr McCormick

Altar dressed for Mass; Madonna & Child to left (in its carrying case); framed poster of the crucifixion to right; seven chairs set for the congregation.
Reverse: "Fr Mac2's Altar No. 4. This is post Vat II.
This was in two main pieces - a heavy wooden folding table & a large wooden case made of marine plywood with aluminium protective moulding on all corner edges. The case has a detachable lid which when removed allowed the altar top to be unfolded outwards - under this folding top were stowed all the altar requisites.
This was the altar I left at Mr St John Foti's museum at Downham Market.
Note. This photo shows my hand-carved statue of O.Lady in a protective oak case - I used to stand it near my altar. On the left is one of my seasonal posters by an artist friend. (Boxford Suffolk)

Cake cutting. Cake on a table in the foreground, Bishop Smith and a lady are sharing a knife to cut one half of a cake whilst a lady in a red jacket cuts the other half. The scene seems to be a hall with a priest nearby and others gathered to observe.
