Westminster Cathedral

226 x 108.7 cm

To commemorate Pope Benedict XVI’s inaugural visit to England in 2010 this 7ft x 4.5ft white Carrara marble slab was commissioned for the entrance floor of Westminster Cathedral, the ‘mother church’ of the Roman Catholic community in England and Wales. The Latin inscription (designed by Caroline Webb, an eminent letter carver) was cut and inlaid by hand with Egyptian imperial porphyry.
