Peter Greed's Dream

 

In the early 1950s, Peter Greed was a school boy at Devizes Grammar School. 1954 must have had a dry spring for Peter decided that he could see the shape of the old Devizes Horse - 109 years after it had first been cut. Not only did Peter see the shape, he used his technical drawing skills to produce a 'blue print'. Even more amazingly, Peter's drawing from 1954 still exists and is reproduced here.

 

Over the intervening years, Peter had the dream to recut a Devizes horse. The coming of the year 2000 provided the impetus and the Devizes Millennium White Horse.

 

Peter Greed became the chair of the committee and he can be contacted on lf72@dial.pipex.com
