Gargoyle on Bodleian Library designed by Sherborne Boy

Current Abbey House boy Henry Chadwick was in Oxford recently to meet award-winning children's author, Phillip Pullman.  Two years previously Henry had entered a competition to 'Design-a-Gargoyle' launched by the University of Oxford.  Henry's design, based upon 'Three Men in a Boat', was one of the twelve finalists, each of which has been immortalised in stone and now sits atop the Bodleian Library in the city.

This September Henry, and the other finalists, travelled to Oxford for the official unveiling and to meet Mr Pullman.
