Thats the church just round the corner. St Peters isnt it? This is another sculpture here. This is basically a sculpture of a pair of hands joined in prayer. I've got a press cutting of when it was first opened. The guy he actually carved it on site. The big rock was brought and put in the Peace Garden on Friargate and he was up a ladder hammering away at this thing, carving it out...They had it in the Peace Garden which you think would be an ideal place to put a pair of praying hands and apparently the Muslim community objected to it being a Christian thing and it was taken away. Unbelievable...It disappeared. i didnt know where it had gone and one day I was driving past and I saw it there.
