Transport, Antony Gormley (b. 1950, British), Canterbury Cathedral (C of E)

Canon Christopher Irvine, former Canon Librarian at Canterbury and now Honorary Teaching Fellow at St Augustine’s College of Theology, will look at three extraordinary pieces of contemporary sculpture in Canterbury Cathedral: Stephen Cox’s altar and water stoup in St Anselm’s Chapel and the Nave, and Anthony Gormley’s ‘Transport’ in the Crypt.

Learn how and why they were commissioned, wonder at their materiality and design, and see how they connect with some of the key figures in the story of Canterbury Cathedral.

Tickets: £10 Friends of Canterbury Cathedral, £15 non-members. Includes tea and coffee.

This event is supported by The Friends of Canterbury Cathedral (Registered Charity No 256575).
