Roman Shields Sculpture

This 7m tall sculpture is on the corner of London Road and Greenlands Road and in the grounds of Centurion House. The Roman shields are made of self coloured iron and remember the town’s Roman past. It was along here that Roman soldiers marched on their way from London to Silchester and evidence of the Roman road has been found at the site. The sculpture was created by Terence Clark in 1998. His signature is a tiny snail which he affixes to each of his works.
