Antony Gormley sculpture quietly removed and sold off by UK council

Kent County Council, led by the Reform party, has removed and sold Antony Gormley's early public sculpture 'Two Stones' (1979-81) from outside the Kent History and Library Centre in Maidstone. The council sold the work back to the artist himself in a private sale to raise funds, citing severe financial pressures and a need to avoid increasing costs for residents. The council's most recent accounts valued the work at £859,000, but the final sale price remains confidential.

One of England's oldest human-made structures given protected status by Historic England

Historic England has granted protected status to the Dudderhouse Hill long cairn in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, a 5,000-year-old Neolithic structure likely older than Stonehenge. The cairn, one of England's earliest human-made structures, had suffered damage in 2023 when stones were removed to enhance a nearby walkers' cairn, prompting a scheduling application. It is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument, recognized as a nationally important archaeological site.
