Unveiled today, the piece, called Transport, is suspended at the cathedral above the site of the first tomb of Thomas Becket, the archbishop murdered at the altar on December 29 1170.

The two metre-long work uses antique iron nails from the cathedral's repaired south east transept lead roof to construct a membrane outlining the space of a floating body.

The piece is suspended in the eastern crypt of Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, above the site of the first tomb of Thomas Becket. Gormley, who won the Turner Price in 1994, is best known for his works such as the Angel of the North and Another Place on Crosby beach
