Comper, Sir John Ninian
His richest creation is St Mary's, Wellingborough, Northants. (1904–31), in which Classical elements made their appearance, notably in the ciborium, and the plaster vaulting in the nave has pendants. He moved towards giving the altar a new dominance in Anglican church architecture, and was a major influence on the liturgical revival: with St Philip, Cosham, Portsmouth, Hants. (1936–7), his ideal of ‘unity by inclusion’, drawing on various styles, combined with a free-standing sanctuary to realize a solution to church planning which accomplished the supremacy of the altar. One of his last works was the altar and reredos in Craze's Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, Norfolk (1959).
