Cast in bronze, 'Robed Figure' is the distinctive form and work of Elisabeth Frink's, thought to have been created in 1988. It is adjacent to Abbey Ruins in a private garden. Her work was often created by adding plaster to an armature, and then chiselling and forming the surface to shape. The gender of the figure is not known, however it does bear much resemblance to an element from her famous sculpture 'Dorset Martyrs'. Elisabeth Frink was one of 5 women who were on British Stamps in 1996.
