Get your pledges in to help fund this new sculpture for Clitheroe, a simple share or pledge from £2 will help VisitClitheroe and Marjan Wouda SculptureThere is just over a month left to pledge financial support for the stunning Dandy sculpture that will be permanently situated near @boothscountry. 💚 Created by the super talented @marjanwoudasculpture, Dandy the dog is a nod to the history and folklore of the Pendle witches, which makes Clitheroe his perfect residence. Rather than your standard witch statue which, let's be honest, is a bit old (pointy!) hat 🧙♀️, Marjan has focussed on the tales of witches' familiars. A familiar was said to be a supernatural entity, often an animal, that would assist and protect a witch. Dandy himself is believed to have been the familar of local man, James Device, who, in 1612, was hanged alongside nine others during the infamous Lancaster witch trials. 💚 Ok, granted, that's not the most cheerful story for a Wednesday morning, but such an iconic piece of our local history does deserve lasting recognition. The link to the crowdfunder can be found below, alongside a breakdown of how the money will be spent to bring this impressive piece of art to our wonderful town. For further information, please reach out to Marjan and her team. 🐶![]()
