Blue crayon scrawled over 230-year-old Sabrina statue at Croome
Museum staff were left dismayed after an historic statue was scribbled on.
Bright Blue crayon markings were scrawled across The Face , arms and torso of the 230-year-old Sabrina statue at Croome, Worcester.
A memorial to landscape architect Capability Brown was also defaced sometime during 8 April, The National Trust said.
The markings have been removed from The Statue but work to clean The Memorial is ongoing.
Carved from Coade Stone , The Sculpture is thought to have been made in 1802 and depicts The Roman Naiade, Sabrina, in a grotto which was originally decorated with shells, coral and gems.
" We Are dismayed that this has happened, " said a National Trust spokesperson.
They added: " Disappointing as they are, incidents like this are very rare considering the millions of visitors who enjoy and respect the places in our care. "
Work to remove crayon marks from the Lancelot 'Capability' Brown Memorial are ongoing. His work landscaping the grounds is thought to have been his first large commission.
