Description
A collection of fourteen life-size statues depicting the Stations of the Cross, erected c.1927. Constructed of plaster with freestanding stone structures/buildings with stylised Classical detailing forming part of the setting at a number of the Stations. Located to the west of Multyfarnham Abbey in mature, landscaped grounds.
Appraisal
An atmospheric collection of statues arranged around an attractive landscaped garden. It is very unusual to have outdoor Stations of the Cross, and this collection may well be unique. They now form part of a local amenity within the grounds of Multyfarnham Abbey. These statues previously lined the main avenue to the abbey but were moved to their present location c. 1975.
