Kettering Civic Society is intensifying
its fundraising campaign to have the
Kettering Mosaic mounted to the front
of the Newlands Shopping Centre Car
Park in 2016.

The original mosaic was removed from
the former Kettering Grammar School
in newspaper-sized sections when the
buildings were demolished in 2007 to
make way for the new Tresham Institute.
The mosaic, which measures 14m by
4.5m, is currently in storage. Made in
the 1960s by internationally acclaimed
mosaic artist, Kenneth Budd, it depicts
a modernist abstract interpretation of
Kettering’s Coat of Arms which also
shows Kettering’s rich religious, cultural
and industrial heritage, including its links
to the birth of the Baptist Missionary
movement, William Knibb and the
abolition of slavery.

You can support Kettering Civic Society
Mosaic Fund in several ways, by
sponsoring from £15 to get a bronze,
silver or gold certificate for your donation
and see your name on a roll of honour,
