Public Art - St. Margaret of Antioch's statue

This statue originally stood outside the headquarters of Leicester's famous international hosiery and knitwear company Corah (on St. John Street and Burley's Way) from 1955 to 1990. St. Margaret was one of their trademarks. This statue was sculpted by the artist Pamela Beresford of Hoby (1914 - 1985).After the company closed this statue was eventually offered to the nearby St. Margaret's Church in 2007 who have placed it close to a perimeter wall on its St. Margaret's Way side. Whilst this location means it is very accessible to the public unfortunately there has been some visible damage to the statue due to vandalism.
