Somerset Square

Somerset Square is the newly landscaped public space which is situated between Pegasus Court and Coal Orchard. The area has been created to provide a suitable setting for the Cricket Club’s redevelopment and the Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre which now benefits from a fabulous outlook with outdoor eating and performance areas.

Local artists have contributed to the space which is now complete:

Will Shakspear, local glass artist produced unique coloured glass setts in the area around the Brewhouse, designed by local landscape architect Steve Swan, Swan Paul Partnership.

Tom Raffield, who studied for his post-16 design qulaification at Somerset College before going on to University College Falmouth, (where his fascination for steam bending began), created the kingfisher's nest, a unique play sculpture.

Chris Webb, local stone sculptor and originator of Taunton's famous sword in the stone, crafted the oversized Portland Stone eggs which form the centre piece of the kingfisher's nest.
