Inspired by the Nine Standards cairns above Kirby Stephen, the artist Andrew Goldsworthy constructed nine cones in a pinfold over the four years he lived at Brough. The nine sculptures are located in various villages around. We found two others, in Warcop and Bolton, but this one in Church Brough must have been one of his first as it had a wonderful patina of moss. The only disappointment was that it is located in a school’s grounds preventing access. The others formed part of the community space in the villages.
