Wilmington, The Long Man c.1960

More about this scene
The design of this huge, ancient giant, on the South Downs near Eastbourne, is cleverly elongated vertically to counteract the effect of foreshortening when viewed from below the hillside. It is one of the largest representations of the human figure in the world. 'Discovered' in 1873 and restored the following year, its origin is still unknown. It may represent a pilgrim, and this may link it to the medieval Wilmington Priory nearby.
