Unending Love will be displayed in the Children’s Chapel. Artist Piers Rosslyn-Smith presents Unending Love, a hand-carved cherry wood Möbius strip symbolising the infinite love of God. Its seamless, continuous surface invites reflection on the eternal nature of divine love—a profound piece perfect for meditation and quiet contemplation.
The Children’s Chapel is one of a few in the country, offering a warm, comforting space for peaceful remembrance and reflection. It houses a book of remembrance for children who have passed, where bereaved parents can leave cards and mementos. The chapel also serves as a child-friendly space, with carved wooden figures, the children’s window, and a beautifully painted ceiling.
