You will notice a wooden sculpture in the grounds. This carving of “Kiyo”, Real name Ryuichi Kiyonari (清成龍一) was sculpted by local artist Simon. It was carved out of a 3 ton piece of Cedar wood and completed by using only chainsaws. The sculpture took 150 hours to complete, but was well worth the effort as it created quite a reaction at the British superbike meeting in May 2010. “Kiyo” himself was so wowed by it he decided to sign it personally. The carving was put up for auction and was subsequently acquired where it enjoys pride of place in the garden. It is open to all to come and see this remarkable work, and perhaps have a drink and take time to admire and photograph this piece of “one off” art as there will never be another. It will reinforce the ties with bikers and Cadwell park and will remain here to be enjoyed for many years to come.
Another interesting point in the area is the ford/crossing or Splash as we like to call it. At the crossing there is a large boulder. This large boulder is a Greywacke, a tough sandstone about three hundred and sixty million years old from the southern uplands of Scotland. It was brought to the village by a glacier during the last Ice Age some 20,000 years ago. For many years it rested in the Seven Springs which are situated below the church where countless generations of villagers stood on it to draw their water as it bubbled out of the ground. The stone fell out of use with the advent of piped water in 1950s and was later submerged when the spring site was dammed to create the village pond. The stone was dredged from the pond during a clearing operation and for a number of years it lay in the garden of a house in the village. Because of its antiquity and geological origin it was decided by the villagers that it should be placed on view for all to see.
