The swan is the symbol of the town of Kleve in Germany, one of the two towns twinned with Worcester. This sculpture was presented to Worcester by the town of Kleve.

The stonemasons of Worcester Cathedral made a second section for the column which is now two metres high.

Hiking

The swan is set on a plain cylindrical column within a circular area of cobbles. The swan stands facing the river, one foot raised to support a shield with the arms of Kleve shown in low relief. Its neck arches backwards and then forwards as its beak points out across the river, and its wings stretch upwards and outwards. The swan is the symbol of the town of Kleve in Germany, one of the two towns twinned with Worcester (the other being Le Vesinet, France).
