As part of the refurbishment programme of our parish church, the Blessed Sacrament has been placed in a new and more prominent place in the church, with clear visibility as you enter the main door of the church, and also offering an intimate place for private prayer before the reserved Sacrament.

The new carving harmonises with the design of the (old) tabernacle with its images of birds symbolising the four winds, and the four corners of the world, with that of a wheatfield. The wheatfield symbolises both the Sacrifice of Christ and its redemptive power. The design and carving is by Stephen Foster whose work is well known and held in great respect throughout England.

The following photographs show something of the process which preceded the installation of the finished carving.

Thank you very much to all those members of the parish whose generous contributions have paid for this beautiful work.
