Chester Cathedral Garth

The Cathedral cloister encloses a garth, in the middle of which is what is now a pond with waterlilies. The garth was originally a space where monks could get their exercise and grow herbs for food and medicine, and the pond occupies the site of the great stone cistern, built by the monks, to hold water piped in from a spring in Christleton. The statue was added in 1992, is by Stephen Broadbent, and represents Jesus and the woman of Samaria.
