© Worth Park Friends 2024
Officially opened on 3rd April 2017
The
Sussex
based
sculptor
Simon
Groves,
who
created
also
our
Time
Line
Totem,
carved
the
three
cows
from
a
180-year
old
oak
tree,
which
came
from
the
Petworth
estate.
The
Montefiores
kept
prize-winning
cattle
at
Worth
Park.
Buildings
remaining
from
the
large
estate
complex
are
still
standing
today
on
Grattons
Drive.
The
sculptures
have
been
erected
on
front
of
the
ha-ha,
an
unobtrusive
gardening
feature,
which
had
been
used
for
many
years
(e.g.
mentioned
in
Jane
Austen
novels)
to
keep
cattle
and
deer out of the formal gardens.
