A seat and figure in Jutland Wood, an area in Langley Vale Wood, the largest of four First World War centenary woods developed by the Woodland Trust. The seat is by Andrew Lapthorn and the figure is by Christine Charlesworth. Jutland Wood commemorates the Battle of Jutland in 1916, and the figure has two sides - the far side looking towards the original woodland in the background, which would have been in existence at the time of the battle, depicts a sailor in 1916 uniform, while the side seen here, looking towards the future woodland and depicts a sailor in 2016 uniform.
