From the central light overhead a strong natural light falls on the hanging corona, the Crucifix 'Christus Rex', and on the gleaming Grecian white marble of the high altar and sanctuary. The frame of the Crucifix s by Alan Roberts, the ceramic figure by Adam Kossowski. The candlesticks and most of the metal furnishings in all the Chapels were fashioned in the foundry of Messrs. Bagnall of Kirkby to the design of Robin McGhie. The altar is so placed and the floor levels so arranged that all can enjoy a close and clear view.
The benches are of Ghana mahogany and were made by the Robert Thompson Craftsmen of Kilburn with the co-operation of Mr. G. S. Graham of Stokesley for the steel fittings. It may be worth mentioning that he total weight of the metal fittings for the seating is eleven tons. Jerzy Faczynski devised the ingenious cantilever attachment for he kneelers.
Above the V-shaped columns, the wall of the drum is clothed in acoustic bricks. They rely or their effect, not only on their shape, which is calculated to break sound-waves, but also on the sound-absorbent action of sponge rubber embedded in each brick.
Over the entrance to the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is the organ designed by Messrs. J. W. Walker & Son. In the midst of the pipes a place has been found for a statue of Our Lady of the Assumption. It is of beaten copper and is eight feet high. It is the work of Ian Stuart.
