Writ in Water

Built in cubits, the most ancient unit of measure, the walls are constructed of rammed stone from the site itself, with a dark stained softwood roof, crushed gravel floor and a central oculus above a pool of water which reflects the words of the Magna Carta.

“This artwork shows how we can bring together contemporary culture and ancient landscape, and wider historical narratives with the detailed context of individual places, in a way that will enhance this special place for years to come.”
