Known locally as the 'Warmley Giant', this representation of the king of the sea was once surrounded by the lake which formed when William Champion dammed Siston Brook. It is missing both arms, the trident and crown. His left arm lay across his body to hold the top of the trident whilst the other hung down to hold the bottom. At the time it was unveiled, it was claimed to be the largest garden statue in Britain.
