Permission has been granted for a sculpture by eminent sculptor David Backhouse to be installed in the Camery Gardens at Wells Cathedral.
The work, titled Atonement, is a life-size standing figure of Christ holding a crown of thorns in contemplation and will hopefully be positioned to be looking up at the Cathedral building. It will be Mr Backhouse's final piece of work.
