Malham Carved Limestone Boulder
Malham Carved Limestone Boulder
Carved by Yorkshire Sculptor & Letter Cutter Richard Watts of Sheffield and commissioned by Polly James.
Quote is from William Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice, a conversation between Portia & Nerissa. “How many things by season season’d are, To their right praise and true perfection!” 5.1.107, Portia.
The stone is Hopton Wood Limestone from Derbyshire as more suited to carving than our local stone. Polly James has a long association and love for Malham and has donated the stone to the village and contributed to the forthcoming improvements to the beck side footpath.
