Description
The Christmas tree and stained glass window are reflected in the amazing font at Salisbury Cathedral in Wiltshire.
Heralded for its age and its religious and cultural links to centuries past, it is easy to forget that the majestic Salisbury Cathedral also contains some brilliant contemporary works of art. There is an amazing 'living water' font, designed by sculptor William Pye, from which four filaments of water flow to the ground. The font takes a cruciform shape and is made from bronze and clad in Purbeck stone.
The font was consecrated on 28th September 2008 by the Archbishop of Canterbury prior to which there had been no permanent font. The surface of the water provides amazing reflections of the cathedral, including Gabriel Loire's 'Prisoners of Conscience' stained glass window ' another contemporary work.
