Mercia Man Hereford

The figure of a knight which was carved from the remains of a beech tree by Philip Bews. In Gaol Street Hereford

When creating the sculpture, Mr Bews initially used a chainsaw to carve out the rough figure of a knight and then used hand carving for details such as the face and hands.

The large headdress of the sculpture is based on various buildings in the town such as the Cathedral and old bridge and the figure is carrying an apple in one hand and a Hereford bull in the other.
