Two stone forms of approximately equal volume are carved into organic forms. The taller one, the farthest from St Peter’s Church, has the appearance of a closed pine cone. The other is a cinque foil form, cut horizontally with five hollows at the top from which the water flows.Each carving is set in a circular pond at opposite ends of a narrow channel of water. Both sides of this channel are paved and bordered by an avenue of lime trees. The flowing water is precisely aligned with the east–west line of the nave of the bombed church.
