St Mary Elms Triptych
Page 16 of 52
- By Charles Gurrey
- 2006
- Ancaster hard white limestone
- St Mary at the Elms
The three modern sculptures are located in the medieval porch of the Ipswich town centre church of St Mary at the Elms, replacing those which would have been in place until the 16th century Anglican Reformation.
The sculptures depict:
- Christ as Salvator Mundi, the Saviour of the World;
- His mother, The Blessed Virgin, depicted as Stella Maris, Our Lady Star of the Sea, because of the importance of this dedication for the ancient port of Ipswich;
- St John the Evangelist, holding the gospel inscribed with his symbol, an eagle.
The designs were executed by the York-based sculptor Charles Gurrey, and dedicated in 2006.
