Stone Sculpture from Lichfield Cathedral

• Stone Sculpture from Lichfield Cathedral
• Unique item - Circa 1650
• This item was discovered only 3 miles from Lichfield Cathedral
• We have been in discussion with the Cathedral
• They have verified that the Sculpture dates from Circa 1650
• The Cathedral was constructed from the stone from 5 local quarries - the stone used in this sculpture is from one of those 5 quarries.
• During this 1600s Lichfield Cathedral along with other similar buildings were demolished. Statues and sculptures such as this one were left on the ground.
• This particular statue was removed a couple of miles, and this intervention as ensured that it has survived until today.
• The Cathedral has mainly two sizes of statue, the lower statues of which this was one were around 5ft tall, the higher ones were all around 8ft tall, therefore from the ground they all looked around the same size.
• The statue was discovered with some damage - this has been sympathetically restored by our local stonemason using a local stone which is very similar to the original stone.
• The statue is 63" tall and weighs around ½ ton
• There were other faults with the statue and our stonemason has ensured that the statue is suitable for use in or outdoors and is now in a very solid and stable state
• The statue is of a Prophet
