This finial was set atop the southwest pinnacle of the Central Tower in the fall of 1963. During the August 23, 2011 earthquake, the top four sources of stone, including the finial, fell from the pinnacle and landed on the roof of the tower, breaking into three pieces. Cathedral masons stabilized it and placed it in this Finial Garden.
All Hallows Guild was pleased to incorporate this historic sculpture into its 2013 revitalization of the Bishop's Garden. |
