The willow man was done by an artist called Serena De La Hey. Her work is beautiful, she did a presentation to some people up here a few months ago. We'd love to have some of her work in East Lancashire.

The willow man was built once and then burnt down. The local farmers in the area clubbed together to find enough money to have it rebuilt and they then built a moat around it to help protect it - so far so good, it hasn't been burnt down again.

Her work really is beautiful - impressive from a distance but lovely up close because of the detail.
