Plans for the Mytholmroyd sculpture get the green light despite objections from the poet's widow.
The sculpture, proposed by a village community group, is inspired by Hughes' poem Churn Milk Joan
A community group in Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, proposed the artwork to highlight the poet's links to the village. However, Mrs Hughes, who was married to the poet from 1970 until his death in 1998, said in a letter of objection the design of the sculpture, "even the idea itself, all seem to me totally at odds with everything that was important to Ted, and to the person he was".
