Artist / Sculptor: Peter Brookman Material: Ciment Fondu Owner / Custodian: Quorndon Parish Council Status: Conservation Area The idea of a permanent Jubilee memorial arose from a village public meeting called to discuss the future of remaining funds following the commemorations. A suggestion from Mr W. A. Earley that the money should be contributed to a Parish Council scheme to convert the piece of land known as the "library site" into a Jubilee Garden. It was decided that at least part of the money should be used to buy a plaque or small monument for the garden to commemorate the 1977 Jubilee. Mr P. R Brookman suggested that young people in the area be asked to submit designs for the monument. The rear of the monument carries a plaque entitled ‘The Bank’ which provides information about the area, ‘‘the cottages on the bank’’ and the Quorn Town Lands charity.
