Enigmatic Notes (Explored)
Edward Elgar and his bicycle. Hereford Cathedral.
The composer lived in the town from 1904 to 1911 when he was at the height of his popularity. In many ways it's ironic that this sculpture stands in the grounds of an Anglican Cathedral - Elgar was a Roman Catholic and his choral work, "The Dream of Gerontius" was based on a Roman Catholic text and caused some disquiet in the Anglican establishment.
