High Street Ram

Dame Rosemary Spencer unveiled in March 2014 an unusual rectangular plaque to celebrate the replacement on 51 High Street of a wooden sheep, erected some time before 1959, when the shop was owned by Stonehenge Woollen Industries. The original animal had largely rotted away by 2010, when its head fell off. The Civic Society, in the absence of a viable alternative sponsor, commissioned from a Bedfordshire woodcarver a replacement that respected the general appearance of the Wiltshire Horn sheep that had inspired the original carving.
