Stone Represents the Spirit of Portland

The image of a stonemason represented in a Portland stone carving now stands on a promontory overlooking Chesil Beach on the approach to Tout Quarry, one of the island\'s many quarries. The sculpture is the work of Joanna Szuwalska, who took three years to carve it.

Hanson Bath & Portland provided both the stone (it is from Perryfield Quarry) and the space at their Easton works for Joanna to carve it. The company\'s general manager, Jonathan Pitt, commented: It is a stunning piece of work which we were delighted to be associated with.
