Designed by Charles Hayward, and mainly constructed by him and his son (private correspondence). Alternatively, designed by Don Gray and Paul Spooner for Saunders Design, London (Design Week, 29 April 1988). Paul Spooner's 'kicking goat' design was expanded upon and remade in several versions - one exists in Kimberley Park, Falmouth (recorded 2013). More info here.
