Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Hampshire Jubilee Sculpture Made by local sculptor Rachel Fenner to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee in 2002 and unveiled by the Queen the following year.
She has used Massangis Jaune, a hard French limestone, for the main elements and the colours were influenced by medieval manuscripts. The sculpture was inspired by Winchester's Castle and Cathedral and Hampshire's rich natural resources. Segments in the outer circle form a Round Table. One half, decorated with fleur-de-lys and castles, symbolises the reign of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile during the time the Round Table was probably made. The other half illustrates religious presences using arches & arcades. The words relate to fundamental and continuous aspects of society; religion, prosperity and royal governance. Centre circle - flowing design recalls the wet lands around Winchester Cathedral. Focal point - a large stone 'Throne' surrounded by three guardian figures which reflect Winchester's position as traditional home to monarchs and bishops. The 'Alfred' stone - its Celtic design influences which symbolise ancient days and embodies King Alfred's dedication to art, religion and defence of the realm. The Mitre stone represents the authority and influence of the Christian Church (the bishops and religious history). The 'Overflow' stone refers to Hampshire's rich resources that contributed to the early growth of this country and continue to this day. Three ' Moot Horns' - used in ancient times to call people together at a meeting place or Moot. In this case to herald Queen Elizabeth's II Jubilee. The channels running through the central platform symbolise the water running through both Winchester and Hampshire and help the design to flow. They are sources of life and symbols of continuity. Thanks to Hampshire County Council website, Mike Craze and Sally Peel for this information. |
