The Root Cross

On the North boundary you may wish to rest on the first of two benches on this side. Take a look behind the bench and the complex roots of a tree can be seen forming themselves into the shape of a cross.

Perhaps this reminds us of the beauty and complexity of nature and how it can be misused, just as a tree, the symbol of life, became an instrument of cruelty and death when it was used to make Jesus’ cross.
