New sculptures conveying the history and heritage of Tenby were unveiled at the Rotary Gardens on the approaches to Castle Hill last week.

Children from the Tenby area designed and helped to create the works, which feature themes such as the town walls, and fish to portray the link with the town, Dinbych-y-Pysgod.

The scheme was organised last year by Marion Davies while she was chair of Tenby 2020's environment and heritage group.

It was funded by the Pembrokeshire Association of Volunteer Services (PAVS), who through their Sustainable Small Grants scheme, sponsor a wide range of community schemes in the area, including health and social care, and history projects like the one seen in Tenby.

Lorna Unwin, spokesperson for PAVS, said: "We tend to sponsor projects that are a bit different. PAVS receives about 10 applications every six weeks and funding is key to ventures such as this."

Children, along with experienced sculptors, Richard James and Will Lewis, gathered in the bandstand on Castle Hill to create the sculptures and provide the children with experience in carving skills.

It is hoped to extend the project and continue to make more pieces to go with the existing ones, but at present more sponsors are being sought, both in the private and public sectors.

The organisers would like to thank the Town Council, especially head gardener Kevin Taylor, the Rotary Club, Tenby Museum, and the children, without whose help the project would not have gone ahead.
