A sculpture garden has been proposed to help mark a village’s importance in the history of a prestigious horse race.
The St Leger Stakes was established in Doncaster in 1776 and is one of the UK’s oldest and most famous races.
It was founded by Lt Col Anthony St Leger, who lived in Firbeck, Rotherham, with the sculpture garden in the village set to feature two steel racehorses.
The plans, submitted by Firbeck Parish Council to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, would see the tribute installed on a grass verge off Kidd Lane.
