Sculptures

Arnot Hill Park is home to four new heritage sculptures that tell the story of key points in the history of the local area.

Carved from a beech tree that was felled in the park in 2024, the sculptures have been created by artist Peter Leadbeater, who has worked with Arnold Local History Group, the Friends of Arnot Hill Park and other local heritage enthusiasts to identify themes for the sculptures.

The four key points in Arnold history that the sculptures represent are:

• Early Arnold
• The Luddites
• Arnold Mill
• Industrial Arnold

Each sculpture has a QR code attached to it, where you can find out more information on each of these themes. This project has been funded by the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
