LONDON ST. PAUL'S COMMUNION PLATE REMODELLED.
An anonymous gift of £250 from a well-known London city man, added to the Goldsmiths' Company's £150 has enabled the remodelling of the heavy set of gold Communiion plate of St. Paul's Cathedral to be carried out. Sir Edward Lutyens was commissioned some time ago to re-design it, but it was found that £400 worth of additional gold would be needed to carry out his design. The set has never been really satisfactory m use, being too small for use at the high altar, and the paten was quite flat. It is so inconvenient that it has been used only twice m the past 20 years. Being too ornate, it was difficult to keep clean. In remodelling the four chalices become three, entirely of gold, but the two flagons will still be of gold and crystal.
