Reminiscent of the glazed ornaments of Shire horses once popular in the home this grand design is quite breath-taking as you approach. It is designed by the British artist Sarah Lucas and is a 'celebration of both the Arthurian legend of the holy grail and the strength and traditions of the English countryside' as described on the website:
