"The Children of Calais"

Sculpture group by Ian Wolter, unveiled earlier this summer by Lord Alf Dubs, reflecting the plight of children caught up in the present refugee crisis. The poses echo the figures in Rodin's famous "Burghers of Calais".

 

Note that in place of the city keys, the boy in the foreground is holding a lifejacket.

 

Near St Mary's church, Saffron Walden, Essex.
