Just north of Bristol Airport on the A38 at Lulsgate Bottom is
the road east to Felton, Winford and Chew Magna. Take that road and 100 yards past the cattle
grid you will see on your right a lane lined by aged beech trees which leads to
St. Katharine’s Church and Felton Common.
Standing at the entrance to the lane is a striking statue of
an angel looking skywards. It was carved
from a dying beech tree by Gloucestershire artist Ant Beetlestone in 2010.

This is a fantastic and beautiful sculpture. The photographer takes a great picture! C
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the sculpture. The photographs on this blog are taken by an enthusiastic amateur - me!
DeleteHi. I'm writing a short piece about tree carving and its history and I wonder if I could have your permission to print this photo? I used to live in the area and love the carving. Christina Noble
ReplyDeleteHello Christina. Yes - you may use the photo from my blog. Unfortunately it was taken on a very dull, damp day so it lacks a nice blue sky as background. Best regards, Steve Wright.
DeleteThank you Steve. I'm told the article will be printed in the next Burnham on Sea U3A magazine, due out in a month's time. I will of course name you as the photographer. Kind regards Christina
