I know she's a Saint and I know she's carved in the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral but who is she? She seems to be standing on a goat and holding flames and a salamander to her breast so I guess she died in a nasty way but why the goat?

Edit: Turns out she isn't a saint but the representation of Humility. See Pat's (Icedancer's) comment below.

Who's That Girl by the Eurhythmics to listen to.

Steve I haven't got a clue and became an Anglican when I got married. I'll have to do some research on her. Yes I agree, don't know why she is standing over a goat. Great capture and clarity with wonderful detail.

nice capture there, Steve with good clarity. Don't know who it is and why she is standing on a "unicorn" goat.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

I don't know Steve but beware she's got a heart of stone ! ;o)
Loved that Annie Lennox link she's so talented even though she looks a little vampish in that video.

Good shooting Sir I wonder why that statue was commissioned for Liverpool Anglican Catheral ?? .. walks away pondering.........................

If you don't know then I haven't a clue who she is Caruso. She reminds me of Cleopatra, or what I would think she would look like. A striking beauty. Good link.

Nice photo and I hope someone comes up with the answer.

I did some searching, and came up with nothing. It's a mystery to me. Very nice shot, though.

I contacted the Cathedral and this is what they said.

I got this reply from our visitor services manager. Not a saint I fear, just a statue.

Best wishes

This is one of the "Vices and Virtues" statues designed by Carter Preston and this particular one is "Humility" and is on the wall outside the Refectory.

Hope this helps.

So you see it is not a saint just a statue designed by Carter Preston called "Humility" - now we know the rest of the story.
