Hospital carving

The sanctuary rails in the Christchurch Hospital nurses’ memorial chapel were designed and carved by Mr J. C. Vivian.

An article in “The Press” on March 6 said that the rails were carved by Mr F. G. Gurnsey.

Mr Vivian was Mr Gurnsey’s only registered apprentice and worked with him for 25 years, excluding the war years. He carved a bookcase for the chapel in addition to the rails.

The chapel lectern, altar, and panels behind the altar were carved by Mr Gurnsey.
