Pro-hunt activists target top sight
|
||
|
||
ONE of Yorkshire's most famous sights yesterday became one of the first
|
||
targets in bizarre attacks on White Horse landmarks linked to the hunting
|
||
debate.
|
||
Villagers near Thirsk could not believe their eyes when they woke yesterday
|
||
to find the famous White Horse of Kilburn had acquired a rider during the
|
||
night.
|
||
In another incident, the Uffington white horse in Oxfordshire had a huntsman
|
||
and three hounds added to the ancient figure, which is thought to represent
|
||
a Celtic god or tribal symbol.
|
||
Pro-hunt activists in the Real Countryside Alliance (RCA) <20> a radical
|
||
alternative to the better-known Countryside Alliance <20> admitted
|
||
responsibility last night for targeting the two images.
|
||
The 314ft by 228ft landmark at Kilburn has been lovingly preserved since it
|
||
was carved in the limestone by schoolmaster John Hodgson and his pupils in
|
||
1857.
|
||
But during Monday night someone nailed on a massive figure of a huntsman
|
||
with a horn <20> which had been cut to scale out of a single piece of white
|
||
carpet. It was removed yesterday by members of Kilburn White Horse
|
||
Association, who found a Countryside Alliance badge attached to the carpet.
|
||
John Roberts of the association said: "It has obviously been very well
|
||
organised. It was a well crafted piece of kit: a figure of a huntsman with a
|
||
horn cut out of carpets.
|
||
"It was big and impressive and could be seen for miles about. They tied it
|
||
to bushes at the top and nailed it down. It caused all the stone chippings
|
||
to be pushed downwards, which will help turn the white horse grey. It will
|
||
not get another refit for another year.
|
||
"Whoever did it must have come with a vehicle <20> a tractor and trailer or a
|
||
lorry <20> because the carpet must have come in one piece. It was extremely
|
||
well planned and took several people an hour and a half to get it off."
|
||
The sculpture needs constant work because, unlike chalk horses in the south
|
||
of England, it is cut into limestone which is the wrong colour and needs
|
||
whitening.
|
||
Mr Roberts added: "The damage as such is not great but it adds to the
|
||
deterioration, which means it will need more work next time.
|
||
"We would have more sympathy if, having made the point, they would come to
|
||
take it away again because it was a major job."
|
||
Andy Wilson, chief executive of the North York Moors National Park, said:
|
||
"It is a scheduled ancient monument and the local residents are very proud
|
||
of it and go to enormous trouble to keep it white. There is also careful
|
||
consideration of what shape it should be kept with the constant growth of
|
||
vegetation so you can understand the alarm and regret at any changes. There
|
||
has not been a cut in the turf <20> which would be much more of a problem. It
|
||
would seem it was carefully plotted beforehand."
|
||
An RCA spokesman said: "Some people in the country are getting very
|
||
frustrated at the inaction. All we want is Ministers to take notice. Marches
|
||
don't seem to be doing anything good."
|
||
The Countryside Alliance said it did not have any part in the action.
|
||
Spokesman Adrian Yelland said: "The Countryside Alliance only ever advocates
|
||
campaigning that is lawful and dissociates itself from acts of vandalism and
|
||
regrets any damage that may have been caused by this incident."
|
||
The incident follows graffiti on road signs and motorway bridges in
|
||
Yorkshire thought to be RCA work.
