Suffolk wood carver John Williams creating the beautiful 'Pilgrims' sculpture for the Abbey 1000 celebrations in Bury St Edmunds.

Many residents and visitors saw John carving the sculpture from pine donated by Nowton Park outside opposite the aviary in the Abbey Gardens over six months in 2021.

The sculpture shows a variety of Medieval pilgrims who came through the centuries to visit the shrine of St Edmund in the Abbey, John has created the shape of the sculpture to reflect the contours of the ruins.
