Heritage Week this year invites you to explore the traditions and practices, knowledge and skills passed down through generations. The earliest known works of representational art are stone carvings. We have the legacy of this longstanding skill reflected in our buildings and art works and it continues to be an important part of our culture and heritage today, which people such as Tommy are keeping alive.
