Eric Gill's Madonna & Child
The Florence Bradshaw memorial at Lapworth by Eric Gill (1922), bearing a delightful Madonna & Child relief in his hallmark style (reminiscent of his Stations of the Cross at Westminster Cathedral).
This magnificent work of art is sadly off limits to the casual visitor to the church as it is situated in the north chapel which, along with the chancel and east bay of the nave, is covered by a highly sensitive alarm system (I found out just how sensitive when leaning over the rope fractionally into the alarmed airspace!)
