The mosaic reredos behind the altar at St Mary's Stapleford Tawney depicting the Last Supper is Venetian, and was given by Sir Charles Cunliffe Smith in 1883. It was made by Antonio Salviati, whose work was considered at the time to be second only to the Vatican in quality. A feature of his work is that the pieces of mosaic were cut to the shape of the features they depict.
