Thomas Browne sculptures are moving to Eaton Park in Norwich

The sculptures, which include a human brain, a giant eye and various obelisks, were moved from Haymarket more than a year ago as a £3.2m project to redevelop the square got started.

Installed in July 2007, they are called Homage to Sir Thomas Browne and were designed to complement the nearby statue of the 17th-century physician, philosopher and writer who lived in Norwich.

But the collection will not return to Haymarket once the redevelopment, set for a spring 2024 completion, is finished and will instead be moved to Eaton Park, which is on the Norwich Art Path.

This decision was partly motivated by incidents of anti-social behaviour and to give the revamped space "more versatility" once completed.

Work begins this weekend to prepare the land for the sculpture's arrival which will see a small area near the play area fenced off. 

Paths will be installed around the sculptures to ensure access for everyone, alongside an information panel about the work's significance and backstory.

The larger sculpture of Sir Thomas Browne himself has already returned to Haymarket ahead of work finishing.
