Guarding the entrance to the courtyard at the Ferrers Centre is this striking metal sculpture. It is made from metal plates and rods that have rusted over time. It gives the impression of a medieval knight, a warrior-like figure wearing a suit of armour and holding a staff. Behind him, a white banner with “Ferrers Centre” in blue lettering hangs on a red brick wall.
