The Heroes Shrine memorial and sculpture - Manor Park Aldershot
The Heroes' Shrine memorial is Aldershot's national memorial to those who lost their lives in World War Two and was unveiled by the Duke of Gloucester in 1950.
It features a Portland stone statue of Christ stilling the storm and in front of it is a sunken walled rock garden, which contains stones from bombed buildings during the war,
from 18 cities and 34 boroughs, including Coventry Cathedral and the Tower of London.
The Portland stone statue is carved from a block rejected by Sir Christopher Wren in the building of St Paul's Cathedral. The statue was carved by Josephina de Vasconcellos and designed by borough surveyor F.W Taylor.
(info from Rushmoor web site)
It has changed a bit since the original opening and had unfortunateley suffered some vandalism by mindless idiots, the sculpture has been refurbished, by the original artist, in recent years.
The original arrangement of recovered bomb site stones is no longer evident.
