Clun castle town bridge over river – large cast bronze art medal Ron Dutton 2011 Shropshire.
View of the town’s 11th century castle, with an ancient bridge over the river Clun on the reverse: Â Clunton and Clunbury Clungunford and Clun are the quietest places under the sun. Taken from Poem L (or poem 33/40 depending on the edition) in A. E. Housman’s poetry collection A Shropshire Lad, 1896.
Numbered on edge: Â this example no.7/100. 552g. 110mm. x 132mm. Â Exhibited at FIDEM XXXII Glasgow 2012.
This is one of a series of 5 medals created in 2010-2011 inspired by architecture in Shropshire; Â Ludlow Castle, Wenlock Abbey, Clun Castle, Stokesay Dark Tower and Buildwas Abbey. Â Although all the medals are in editions of 100, it would appear that Dutton only cast the first 10 or so of each medal. Â Therefore where I have more that one in stock I’ll change the number on the edge as they sell.
