Terence Coventry, sculptures near Coverack.

On returning from our 'muddy' walk ....and finding the correct path (!) we came across what one would have presumed to be a posh Cornish garden. In fact it was a sculpture park - 3 meadows housing a variety of sculptures; with free entrance. The artist,Terence Coventry, was born in Birmingham in 1938. He studied Fine Art at Stourbridge in 1954. He completed his National Service in the RAF in 1959-61 and was subsequently accepted by the Royal College of Art in 1961 to study painting, but left after a year and took up farming in west Cornwall. In 1985 he began to make sculpture his major activity, which was triggered by the vast amount of elm wood on his land that became available for carving as a result of Dutch elm disease.
