Appeal for information following theft of Henry Moore Sculpture – Much Hadham
Dear Watch Member,
Detectives are appealing for information following the theft of Henry Moore's ‘Sundial', 1965. This is a bronze sculpture measuring 56cm high, worth around £250,000 - £500,000. It was taken from the grounds of The Henry Moore Foundation in Much Hadham, Herts, Moore's former home.
The theft occurred sometime between 4.30 pm on Tuesday July 10th and 11am on Wednesday July 11th.
The statue had been situated in the gardens of Hoglands, Moore's house. It was located so as to be viewed from the large sitting room.
Detective Inspector Paul Watts, who is leading the investigation said: "This ‘sundial' sculpture is a valuable piece and we are very keen to speak to anyone who may have seen it since 4.30 pm yesterday (July 10th). If you have any information in relation to this incident, please contact police immediately on 101, or alternatively Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
