Thank you

You are probably aware that PLC designed at least two sets of Stations, one in Shrewsbury Cathedral and another in the church of the Holy Apostles, Pimlico. He also made the sculpture of St George in Westminster cathedral, where of course Gill did the Stations.

I remember his widow came for tea with my Parents when I was a child and we discussed another one of his sets of Stations.

Thanks for reminding me of this fascinating and underrated sculptor and for these wonderful images.

Mr. Clark’s work is lovely, vigorous, and quite to the point as an explanation of labor. Such butch fellows. So well portrayed.

Thank you, dear Gentle Author, for sharing these works with us, your always appreciative audience.

You mentioned Eric Gill and Broadcasting House. Dear Gentle Author, should you ever care to comment upon the sculpture decorating the very top of the exedra of that lovely building, Bush House, once espied by me on a rainy night more than twenty years ago, after long (actually, casual) attempts to find it, the figures standing upon a distyle screen, with modified acanthus capitals, produced in my natal town of Closter, NJ, USA, well, dear boy, you have my email.

GA, these are beautiful pieces, enhanced by your fine description –“The dignity of labour and the poetic narrative of transformation in the baking of bread is made tangible by these finely judged sculptures.”

Indeed, they do have religious overtones. Gracias.

Onward and upward.
