The way of the cross byhoward Kendall
The Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) is unique and stone-sculptured.[14] It was added in the 1860s, when several buildings were demolished to make way for it.[15] The carvings by James Forsyth depict seven scenes from the Stations of the Cross.[16] The first shows Christ being condemned by Pontius Pilate, while the second is Christ carrying his cross. The third sculpture illustrates Christ falling under his cross, supported by Simon of Cyrene. The next tableau is of Christ meeting his mother and then having his clothing removed. The final representations as you climb the steps towards the church are of Christ being nailed to the cross and then his death, which is displayed on the gable of the north porch.[10][17][18]
I am always amazed at the way that both rich and poor contributed to the art displayed in English Churches. Nowadays you are blessed if you have enough to keep the roof in good condition.
