CERBERUS |
Cerberus, c.1965 |
|
| An Elizabethan statue of Cerberus, the mythical Greek three-headed dog who guarded the gates of the Underworld, used to stand in the Shrubbery in Redgrave Park. One head bayed upwards and the other two looked sideways. A chain went round its back - local legends say the chain broke when the Hall was destroyed in 1946. | ||
| The photograph shows one of the heads lying on the ground, probably knocked off by vandalism during the War. | ||
| The statue was sold in 1971, and is now at Buckenham, near Norwich. | ||
