Each column has a vertical slot through which the sun will shine for 3-4 minutes at ‘true’ noon every (sunny) day, creating a line of light in the shadow cast by the column. The beam of light shining in the shadow of the column will vary with the time of year. This cycle links the six sculptures to the passage of time – celebrating the past, present and future of the Forest.

Church of the Holy Angels, Hoar Cross

Highlight • Monument

Sometimes described as the most beautiful modern church in England, this magnificent sandstone building, with an embattled central tower, dates back to the 1870s and was the inspiration of Emily Meynell Ingram, daughter of the first Viscount Halifax, who was widowed after only eight years of marriage. She commissioned the church, designed by George Frederick Bodley and generally acknowledged as an architectural masterpiece, as a lasting monument to the memory of her husband, Hugo.
