Designs unveiled for gigantic prayer monument

Five designs for 'The Wall' - the national prayer landmark - were unveiled in Parliament on Tuesday.

The monument is the brainchild of former Leicester City football chaplain Richard Gamble who had a vision to see a structure built from a million bricks - each marking an answered prayer.

After fundraising in 2016, a competition was launched with the Royal Institute of British Architects to find a design.

From the five shortlisted entries (below), one will be chosen and it's hoped it will be built by 2023, with overall costs totalling £10 million.

The team behind the project are now looking to continue fundraising and hope to identify land on which it can be built.

Speaking on Premier's News Hour, Chair of Trustees Alan McCormick said: "We want to build the structure by a motorway so many people will see it and wonder what it is and then realise that our God answers prayer.

"We hope it will facilitate many discussions about what it is and why people are building it."

Also announced at the parliamentary reception was that each brick donated to the wall will be doubled so that bricks can be given to social housing.
