I'd never seen the statue until today.
When you go past it's nearly the same colour as the stone of the Hall.
I was sat in the car today, opposite the park, and saw it, but couldn't work out who it was.
Could tell it was an erect female figure, draped arms, piously half out stretched.
Could tell it was done after WWI, but thought it looked like Virginia Woolf, or Emmeline Pankhurst. Though I knew of no reason why a statue of those two should be placed there.
Thanks to your photos on Flickr, and Accy Web, I now know exactly what it is.
I've never actually set foot in Gatty Park.
Perhaps I should.
What's the Hall used for now, and can you go in there?
