This is a new cast of the sculpture made by Lancaster sculptor Alan Ward.
Beatrix will remain at the castle until at least the New Year, when she will go to her new home in Windermere, together with a statue of William Wordsworth, which is currently being created by Alan in his workshop at the castle.
Alan created the stunning life-sized statue of the children's author holding her most famous creation – Peter Rabbit.
The work is based on pictures of her in her 70s, before she passed away in 1943 in the Lake District.
