On the north wall is a bas-relief of the Madonna and Child, made by the monks on the Island of Caldey. The corresponding room on the south side is the Parish Office. Access to the balcony is obtained near the Office. The two upper offices are accessed from the balcony. The north room houses Act 4 (Youth Ministry in Potters Bar) and the south room houses another office. |

The Nave |
|
The simply sculptured stone font came from the old St John the Baptist Church. Above it hangs a cover of painted wood, a modern version of the fine late Perpendicular covers of East Anglia. Near it, on its white and gold stand, is the Paschal candle, the great symbol of ‘Christ risen’, which is lit from Easter Eve to Pentecost and on every baptism throughout the year. |
|
On the left hand side of the chancel steps stands a bronze Madonna and Child which came from St James, Hampstead Road, beneath a canopy which was the gift of the late Lawrence Jones, author of several books on old English churches and a churchwarden and Reader at St Mary’s for nearly 40 years. |
|
Attached to the opposite pier is the sculptured Victorian stone pulpit which was also brought from the old St John the Baptist Church. |
