A SCARECROW of Lawrence of Arabia has become 'talk of the village' after it was allegedly stolen on the day of a village competition.
The scarecrow was tethered to a sign outside of a family home and was taken on the day judges went round to look at all the scarecrows on display in Wool for the much-anticipated annual competition.
Mandy Pyne, 62, made the scarecrow herself and said the fact that it has gone has left her "very disappointed".
She said: "I made him myself but donated him to a family who said they didn't have time to make one this year and they put him outside their house ready for judging.
