Village Green stone sculpture

Village Green stone sculpture 36 semi-mature English oak trees encircle the village green and provides the setting for a sculpture by Ashley Hipkin. Nine standing stones have been set in a circle around the green, each bearing a single word of a proverb from John Ray's "A Collection of English Proverbs."

John Ray (1627-1705) is renowned as 'The Prince of English Botany' and lived in Black Notley, close to Great Notley Garden Village. His books have had a lasting effect, notably his theory of environmental influence, which Charles Darwin developed further in his "The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection." A walk around the village green will reveal the proverb "Take Time, When Time is, for Time will Away." Installed in 1995.
