Green Man (31/52)

On a visit to Knutsford, I saw this eye-catching sculpture by Philip Bews at the entrance to the Knutsford Heritage Centre. The Green Man, also known as Jack-in-the-Green, is a traditional character associated with the May Day Festival, representing renewal of vegetation. A figure of the Green Man leads Knutsford's annual May Day procession.

 

For the 'Tourism' theme in the 52 Weeks 2014 Edition group.
