St Lawrence
St Lawrence holds a griddle, the instrument of his death.
This is one of two 3D printed replicas of statues the originals of which were at Coventry Charterhouse.
During the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century, the statues of St. Denis and St. Lawrence were hidden in the garden at the Charterhouse, originally a Carthusian monastery. They were uncovered later in the 18th century by tenant John Whittingham, whose daughter gifted them to what is now known as St Osburg’s Church. After going missing for 100 years, the statues were later found and restored in 1944 but have never returned to the Charterhouse.
