 Saxon Cross from Barking Abbey 
Celtic knotwork |
Heritage and History The theme of The Catch reflects two key elements of Barking's history - the fishing industry and the area's Saxon heritage. . The artwork represents two nets being cast upwards and outwards with the force of a wave. Their structure derives from Celtic knotwork, similar to that found on the stonework in the ruins of Barking Abbey. A wide range of information and photographs are available online in the Barking and Dagenham Council website:Historical information Maritime and Fishing heritage Barking Town Quay Barking Abbey Archive photograph galleries Maritime and Fishing Barking Abbey
