On April 23, 1922, in the sanctuary at St. Cyprian’s Church on Manning Avenue, a carved oak reredos complimented by oak panel work and altar rails, was unveiled. The pieces were dedicated to the memory of the 24 parishioners who lost their lives in the First World War. The dedication service was conducted by Archdeacon Inglis and Canon W.L. Baynes-Reed.
In 1966, St. Cyprian’s amalgamated with the Church of St. Mary the Virgin and the amalgamated parish of St. Mary the Virgin & St. Cyprian was born. St. Mary the Virgin & St. Cyprian’s closed in 2002. The building was purchased by Christ the Saviour Russian Orthodox Cathedral.
