This watercolour of the Three Hares shows one hare made out of wood to represent the wooden church bosses that we have in Chagford. One hare made of tin to represent the 'Tinners Rabbits' of Chagford and the third hare made of granite to represent Chagford today. The poem I have written around it reads:-
Once Tinners Rabbits
Now hares of granite
Their meaning a mystery
Obscured by history
Some carved in wood
Some made of clay
Some easy to find
Others hidden away
The three hares of Chagford
Are there to be found
Ears joined together
Going round and around.
