The first exhibit in an 11-piece wooden sculpture display is due to arrive at Durham Cathedral today.

A 15ft figure of The Risen Christ, by Durham artist Fenwick Lawson, is being transferred from storage at Brinkburn Priory, Northumberland, to be erected on a 4ft wooden plinth in the cathedral's North Transept.

It will form part of a display of Mr Lawson's work, throughout the cathedral, to run from August 31 to September 5.
