The Millennium Stone

Where Time, Place and Community Meet

Situated in the historic grounds of East Court, East Grinstead, The Millennium Stone is one of sculptor Liza Jane's most enduring public artworks. Commissioned by the Town Council to mark the turn of the millennium, the 11.5‑tonne ironstone monument was unveiled on New Year's Eve 1999 and dedicated by the local community at midnight.

It stands directly on the Greenwich Meridian, with the line itself etched into its surface with a diamond blade. Inspired by ancient sandstone formations from her childhood, the sculpture is meant to be touched—changing slowly over time through human contact.

The Millennium Stone serves as both a marker of time and place, celebrating the historic moment while creating a lasting connection between the community and this significant geographical location.
