Air is the second of the ancient elements to be celebrated in this Millennium sculpture trail. It is represented by two objects: this weathervane on the village hall in Chapel Lane, and "the airy seat of Ratley Castle", a Norman motte and bailey structure built for the de Arden family to protect the labourers and livestock of their tenancy. The castle was demolished by King Henry II after he established order in 1154 Image
