JG300 are happy to report that
the new monument to celebrate the historic past of Juniper Green is now ready
to be installed. The first documented appearance of Juniper Green’s name was
in 1707 (hence the 2007 tercentenary celebrations), but archaeological finds
show that people were living here in the Bronze Age at least 4000 years ago.
The Monument incorporates symbols of Juniper Green’s Bronze Age, the mills
round which it grew and the plant after which it is named. Standing 2 metres
above the ground and carved in green stone by sculptor, Ian Newton, the stone
will be unveiled in a ceremony on Sunday March 7th at 2pm. Everyone’s
invited! Piper, Christopher Grieve,
will start the proceedings and Bronze Age expert, Dr Alison Sheridan, of the
National Museums of Bring along your camera as
well as a little small change for our donations bucket and mementos
stall. Please join us for this historic event. |
