I copied this about the sculpture on the Whitby Sculpture Trail “along the riverside where you’ll find Emma’s tribute to one of Whitby’s strangest legends – the Penny Hedge. The story goes that one autumn day in 1159, a group of noblemen were hunting nearby. Their hounds attacked a boar which took shelter in a hermitage, the hermit closing the door on the dogs. The enraged hunters attacked the hermit, leaving him for dead. On his deathbed he suggested that, instead of the death penalty for murder, they and their descendants should enact an annual penance – the construction of a woven ‘hedge’ from branches cut using only a knife ‘of a penny price’. The hedge needed to withstand three tides: if it didn’t, the lords would forfeit their lands. The planting of the Penny Hedge has continued every year at 9am on the eve of Ascension Day, 39 days after Easter. When the hedge is planted a horn is blown three times and “Out on ye, out on ye, out on ye!” is called out.”
