In 2012 Much Wenlock’s Olympian Games Committee commissioned a series of five artworks to mark the town’s founding connections with the modern Olympic Games[**].
You might describe them as stone ‘tuffets’, though they are rather larger and lumpier than Miss Muffet’s seating arrangements. Local school children contributed creative notions and designs for the tops. This one now sits in the town square (after a few years getting grubby on the Linden Field) and is my favourite. Cultivate our hidden talents, it says, and if we can – plant a tree.

how wonderful. I love public art
We can’t have too much, can we 😉
no, we don’t seem to have enough
I love the bench with a mission….Beautiful 🙂
That’s a great message and the acorn is lovely
I love the acorn too.
It’s a nice sentiment, Tish 🙂 🙂
Something to ponder on 🙂
Those are fun. Naperviile had lots of public art and a new theme each year for seasonal art, including dogs one year and benches representing children’s books another. It was so much fun to see what was presented.
Like the idea of the children’s books theme.
There were so many wonderful entries. I did some posts on them at the time.
That’s rather lovely.
I covet the acorn.
oh isn’t this lovely – from little acorns . . . . . .
