Put you or your loved one’s name to this incredibly rare item and be a part of history! This soft stone statue of the patron saint of travellers, illustrates the legend of St Christopher carrying the Christ child across the river with water rippling at his ankles. It is incredibly rare for statues of St Christopher to be so complete, as religious statues were defaced during the Reformation, rejecting the Roman Catholic religion in the 16th century. The Christ Child in this statue has been defaced. This might appeal to someone with an interest in travel, sculpture, religious artefacts, a local church or christian group – or someone wanting to support the Castle and its exciting Keep project.
