Master of Liesborn's "Ascension": St. Helen's Church, Brant Broughton
Reredos was installed in 1887, with painted panel depicting Ascension as its centrepiece. The painting, which is part of a polytych, dates from about 1490 and is the work of the Westphalian artist known as the Master of Liesborn.
The painting was given by Canon Frederick Heathcote Sutton, who was Rector from 1873 to 1888, and in partnership with the architect G.F.Bodley (1827-1907) he carried out an extensive programme of rebuilding and restoration, mainly between 1874 and 1876.
The reredos was inspired by medieval German examples.
