Description: An event of considerable importance in the history of British sculpture...not only because the Church has had the courage to commission a sculptor whose work has usually been thought of as difficult and remote but because the sculptor himself has found it possible to produce a carving of real religious and human significance without sacrificing any of his personal sense of form...
