Moments in a minor key

Sophia Constable

Sophia Constable, 11, was jailed for three weeks for stealing a loaf of bread. She was the youngest female inmate ever incarcerated in Northallerton's former prison. Now the sad 19th century tale has been immortalised in a new sculpture. The ‘Ballad of Sophia’ by artist Ray Lonsdale was installed this week, 150 years after the girl's conviction.
I’ve added a couple of extras to give a closer view to this work of art.
