About

C.S. Lewis Square features over 300 native trees as well as statues by artist Maurice Harron who was inspired by characters from C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. 

The square is a public space commemorating the Belfast-born author, C.S. Lewis whose beloved Chronicles of Narnia series included the title. The sculptures depict both heroic and villainous characters as well as key props from the book, including Mr. Tumnus, Maugrim, the White Witch, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, the Stone Table, the Robin, and, overlooking them all, Aslan the Lion.
