The Pig Pen
Image: © Rod Allday Taken: 31 Jan 2009
In medieval times a pig pen occupied this site next to the church in the centre of Okehampton. In daylight hours pigs were allowed to roam and scavenge in the town's streets. It is not clear whether this is purely a sculpture or whether it is intended to double as a cycle stand.
