The tree that was felled had been the village Christmas tree with lights etc for years, and this seemed a good way to commemorate both it and the mining in the area. Lots of quiet lanes round about and the old Fosse Way can be found nearby.

Historically held by Radulfus Basset in 1166, the name of this village signifies 'farm/settlement on a hill.' The village witnessed the opening of the Great Central main railway line in 1899, with a station named after nearby Ashby Magna. Today, Dunton Bassett is known for the Dunton Bassett Arms pub, a primary school and a village hall donated by successful Leicester builder Orson Wright. The village's cricket club, established in 1870, actively participates in leagues, and the community once thrived with a combined shop and post office, though the latter closed in 2018.

After the tree was felled at Stoney Stanton, the parish council decided to do something with the remaining trunk. After consulting with residents in the area, it was decided that a sculpture of a quarryman would be made out of the trunk.

Stoney Cove is a large flooded quarry that hosts the UK National Dive Centre. There is a heated pool for dive training, and the bed of the cove is described as an underwater adventure park! Above the surface, there is a pub/cafe and it's also a great spot to catch a glimpse of peregrine falcons/
