Thank you for sharing this page. I wish I had found this before my visit to Partney, North & South Ormsby in August 2017. Orme the Viking is an ancestor of mine. We are the New Zealand Ormsby’s. My regards to the children of Berwick Hills Primary School for a great design, and all who were involved in this project with the foresight to erect his statue. Arohanui from Aotearoa – New Zealand

and now, sadly, Orme is sporting “graffiti” as part of his regalia. 🙁 Plus the area is almost a “no go area” now. I wouldn’t risk going there to take a picture of Orme.
