Stone carving greets visitors
NATIONALLY-renowned stone carver Marcia Bennett-Male is chipping away to create a warm welcome to greet visitors as they arrive at the Wentworth Castle estate in Stainborough, near Barnsley.
The three-and-a-half ton stone has been positioned just inside the Parkland at Stainborough and is a type of sandstone, known as Blackster, which came from a quarry at Dunhouse in Northumberland.
The same type of stone was used in the acclaimed restoration of the nearby Strafford Gate.
