Chilstone sent Cuddly Hippo from California after Bronze Hippo Statue Stolen

Chilstone, makers of handcrafted architectural stone and garden ornaments in Royal Tunbridge Wells have received a large cuddly hippo from California sent by MyHippo.com after a bronze hippo sculpture was stolen. #FindHarryTheHippo After a bronze sculpture was stolen from our show garden near Langton Green the news spread around the world. The hippo weighing almost three quarters of a tonne has still not been found. We were surprised to open a parcel from California containing a 3 feet tall cuddly hippo sent by MyHippo.com. Nicknamed “Harry the Hippo The bronze statue had been a feature in the garden for several years and staff nicknamed it Harry after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement to the world’s press standing between four Chilstone Kensington Planters, making the planters famous overnight. The new Harry the Huggable Hippo has been sent to Pembury Hospital’s children’s ward to spread a little joy and comfort to young patients. Thank you for your support General Manger, Steve Clark said “I am pleased that this unexpected gift can be passed on to local children so that some positivity can come from this appalling theft from our show gardens. Thank you to everyone who has offered us support and thank you the thoughtful Americans who have sent this cuddly hippo to us.” Chilstone make a large range of planters, statues, garden ornaments (including fountains) and make bespoke orders for architectural and garden projects.
