Millennium Arches - Galley Common School, Warwickshire
by Paul Margetts

The project aimed to create a piece of public art which emphasised the history of the village, be a celebration of the Millennium, and provide a sense of identity for old and new inhabitants of the area. Two archways were made over the pedestrian gates into Galley Common School.

The details on the arches describe many features relating to the past and present life of the village.

Paul Margetts worked with the school children in developing ideas for the design and demonstrated some of the techniques that would be used in the commission.
