After the tree was felled at Stoney Stanton, the parish council decided to do something with the remaining trunk.

After consulting with residents in the area, it was decided that a sculpture of a quarryman would be made out of the trunk.

The tree that was felled had been the village Christmas tree with lights etc for years, and this seemed a good way to commemorate both it and the mining in the area. Lots of quiet lanes round about and the old Fosse Way can be found nearby.
