The red dot on the map marks the
spot from which I think JSS painted 'The Pavement'. (the letters relate
to the mosaics.) The Pavement [of the floor in Sargent's painting] has
subsided, but has been restored. He was looking west down the aisle [from
L Q towards D E]; the picture . . . is taken from the west door looking
up the nave. The white pavement of the crossing is clearly visible in JSS's
'Pavement' and the photo of the nave. He must have been next to the red
sanctuary lamp on the left of the crossing.
