These kneelers at the communion rail were embroidered for the Queen's diamond jubilee in 2002, and the text along the front reads "Draw near with faith. Receive the body of our Lord Jesus Christ which was given for you" (words from the Book of Common Prayer). The mosaic floor of the chancel was made for Queen Victoria's jubilee, thus the tradition was being continued.
