Statue in Trinity Court on Sydenham Park

Post by foxglovesummer »

Does anyone have any information on this statue? I.e. who it is of. I believe it was originally from the first Holy Trinity church building that stood on this site but I don’t know any more than that. I have discussed it with some friends and we think it may be Saint Peter or Paul. Any further knowledge is appreciated! (Apologies if the picture hasn’t uploaded properly!)

Can't quite see what he's holding in his right hand. If it's a book, it could be St Paul, although he's often also depicted with a sword. St Peter is usually given a set of keys (to let us into heaven - Matthew 16.19)

No help with the statue but this write-up suggests knowledge of the original church. There's a Contact Us menu option at the top.
