Metal Clasping hands, Pair of huge hands held in a loving clasp Ray Lonsdale sculpture, visitor attraction World Famous Blacksmith Shop, Gretna Green
A PAIR of huge hands held in a loving clasp have been created by a North-East sculptor for the Gretna Green wedding venue. The piece by Ray Lonsdale, called The Big Dance, was commissioned by the owner of the Old Blacksmith’s Shop as a centrepiece for its sculpture garden. Gretna Green’s runaway marriages began in 1753 when an Act was passed requiring consent of parents if the bride and groom were not 21 or over.
