Representing the Angels of the Heavenly Host, this 'smalti tessarai' mosaic spans some 800 sq ft around the upper spandrels of one of Britain's foremost post-war churches. St Paul's Bow Common was the first British church to be built with a central altar and the Angels of Luytens' design encircle the sanctuary area.
