The Hugglescote Bear, unveiled November 2008. Commissioned and funded by the Hugglescote and Donington le Heath Forum supported by Mantle Arts, the bear was created by sculptor Thomas Kenrick, a stone sculpter based in Somerset, and is inspired by a legend involving a man, a bear and a coat which is supposed to explain how the village got its name!
