Description
'The Preacher', 1961, by Peter Laszlo Peri.
MATERIALS: the sculpture is constructed of a mix of concrete and synthetic resin.
DESCRIPTION: 'The Preacher' is a figurative sculpture diagonally set above the principal entrance (an angular concrete porch with chamfered sides) and dramatically cantilevered from the western gabled, brown brick elevation of Forest Gate Methodist Church. The figure, which measures approximately 4.1m in height and 2.3m wide, is of a man with limbs of exaggerated length, in a short robe or dress holding a prayer-book in his left hand.
Pursuant to s. 1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 ('the Act') it is declared that the building to which the sculpture is affixed, is not of special architectural or historic interest.
