Hickleton Hall Sculpture                        SE 482 048

Picture
To the south west of Lawn Wood, near an old quarry, is the ruin of a garden building. The nearby sculpture was made around 1910 by Hodkin and Jones of Sheffield. Like many of their concrete statues, it is now headless.

Hodkin and Jones (Sheffield) limited are based in Dronfield and are still making plaster moulding.
