Inscriptions: Christ Church Memorial Garden


Sword in pavement

The above inscription is on the pavement just inside the gates of Christ Church Memorial Garden, St Aldate’s. It reads:

MY SWORD I GIVE TO HIM
THAT SHALL SUCCEED ME IN MY PILGRIMAGE

The garden remembers the men of Christ Church who died in the First World War. The quotation is from John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress.
