A3D SCULPTURE BY JON EDGAR

©  Charles Warner   11 April 2013 edition

To celebrate the regeneration of Hindhead after closure of the old A3 through the Devil's Punch Bowl at Hindhead, the National Trust has supported the Hindhead A3D project. Close to the National Trust Cafe at Hindhead, on the route of the old road, is a new sculpture by Jon Edgar, in which local themes are interwoven by carving into a block of Portland stone, originally weighing 3 tonnes.
