Woodkirk sandstone sculpture called "Tom", by Graeme Mitcheson, http://www.chisel-it.co.uk. Installed on Ansley village green in December 2009 as part of the North Arden Heritage Trail,http://www.northwarks.gov.uk/ardentrail, a Heritage Lottery funded project. Scenes represent Ansley's heritage and natural environment-from mines to railways and ribbons and from Great Crested Newts to conkers and brooks. The central image, showing a man torn between the dragon and the lamb, represents the struggle of good against evil and is taken from the Norman carving in St Laurence’s Church. Other sculptures created for the Trail can be found in Fillongley, Nether Whitacre and Astley -see Image]
