Historic Statues Vandalized with Blue Crayon

A statue of the water nymph Sabrina, designed by British sculptor John Bacon over 200 years ago, has been vandalized with blue crayon at the Croome estate in Worcestershire, England. The National Trust, which manages the estate, has since cleaned the statue. Another monument at the estate, a memorial to landscape designer Lancelot "Capability" Brown, was also vandalized with blue crayon and is still being cleaned. While incidents like this are rare, it is not unprecedented for historic monuments to be defaced.
