A replica of the Angel of the North by Antony Gormley measuring 14 feet across and six feet high was made from wheat reed and foam by Sarah Walton, an art graduate who previously worked as his assistant, for the British Food Fortnight Exhibition in 2007. It was then offered to parishes which participated in the Britain in Bloom competition, so ending up at the far end of the town cemetery at Bourne “for as long as it lasts” which was expected to be around one year in outdoor conditions but has now disappeared.
