A stone sculpture commissioned in 1993 to mark the entrance, to the then new phase, of Salisbury District Hospital. The artist, Althea Wynne, designed this piece to be made from local Chilmark stone quarried about 15 miles west of Salisbury. This is the same material used in the decoration of Salisbury Cathedral. Chilmark stone is highly regarded as a long-lasting limestone that can be easily worked and was reputed to be Sir Christopher Wren's favourite stone. The overall shape, although playing on the hospital road signs theme, is also reminiscent of the construction at Wiltshire's most famous historical site, Stonehenge.
