The sculpture by local resident Sylvia Thornhill was unveiled in 2013 to celebrate 700 years of St Lawrence's Fair whose charter was originally granted by Edward II in 1313. There are seven children in a circle each dressed in the fashion of each century from the 14th to the present day. The sculpture is located on a small green at the western end of the High Street.
