A nod to the learning

An unusual sort of statue: two children reading a book. This monument was created by a former local artist, Tom Whitehead, and cost £15,000; it marks an old entrance to the former Mangotsfield Church of England School that stood along this road from 1876 until 1999. The site remained derelict until deomlition in 2018, whereupon Cotswold Homes built a large housing block on it, and as part of the works paid for this memorial.
