1. The Statue of Christ Marker
This is a second casting, in concrete, of a statue at Blundell's School in Devon. It was created by an 18 year old pupil Alain John. The Headmaster, Neville Gorton, later became Bishop of Coventry and on the death of Alain John, an RAF navigator in 1943 at the age of 23, the statue was recast for Coventry as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the war.
The Statue represents Christ blessing the multitude.
