This piece recreates lost doors which would of been part of the Almshouses. 9 free standing arches showcase archaeological finds within the glass. Texts from the 'Chapter Acts' book are sandblasted into the pavers, providing a record of every day life within the almhouses.

Inspired by the weather beaten texture of the city walls, these pebble like sculptures draw your eye to the view of the Cathedral.

Six panels which echo the windows of the Cathedral behind, changing constantly with the light.
