Inspired by a medieval padlock, this sculpture evokes interpretive character, William Stowe’s, role in protecting Warkworth Castle. Look straight ahead; the top of the lock matches the outline of Grey Mare’s Tail Tower.
Visitors can turn the key with a satisfying ‘clunk’ to hear a poetic description of this tower. The lock body is made from mirror polished stainless steel which helps it blend into the surroundings of the castle, solar panels in the rear of the sculpture power the internal audio mechanism.
