The sculpture celebrates the 300th anniversary of the birth of John Newton, who wrote the hymn ‘Amazing Grace’. Within the sculpture there are patterns inspired by Bucks Point lace making and blends these patterns with words from the hymn:

I once was lost, but now am found

How precious did that grace appear

And grace will lead me home
