Commissioned by Sir Richard Carew Pole The Green Man was unveiled on the 9th December 2012 to a small gathering of the Carew Pole family and friends.
Cast into bronze The Green Man (155cm in diameter x 40cm in depth) now forms part of the Carew Pole Garden Trust collection which includes sculpture by William Pye, Peter Randell-Page and Ellis O’Connell. These can be viewed throughout the impressive grounds which opened to the public on the 2nd March, 2013.
Located between the towns of Antony and Torpoint, Cornwall, the Carew family have owned Antony estate since the mid 16th Century, with the House being built in 1721 – it has been the primary residence of the family since then. The estate has been the location for various films including Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, 2008.
