Is it a Labyrinth? Is it a maze? In September 2009, it was simply a pile of stones in the garden at Millside. It measures around four metres in diameter. First mapped out on the left, seen 'filled in' on the right and now awaiting its chamomile lawn.
With interest in Labyrinths from all over, especially to CTH following a feature on BBC Songs of Praise in February 2008, this small offering provides space for contemplation, prayer and meditation - or simply to enjoy the peace. More as the chamomile starts to sprout. In the meantime, here's a link or three and an extract from the ecumenical labyrinth bought with a little help from us for Harrogate in July 2007.
