This mosaic commemorates the rebuilding and decoration of St Stephen's chapel. Edward III, who in 1348 founded here and richly endowed the college of St Stephen, is shown presenting the approved design of the chapel to his master Mason, Thomas of Canterbury. On the right of the king, stand representatives of the crafts. R. Anning Bell designed this mosaic which was executed by Gertrude Martin and Associates and was completed in 1926.
