Pomeroy, Charles Birch, Albert Toft, William Theed and Thomas Brock, and notable architectural sculpture by Charles Rossi and H. C. Fehr. Among the twentieth-century sculptors represented are W. J. Bloye, Walter Ritchie and Barbara Hepworth, and there is also work commissioned by local regeneration projects. Significant ecclesiastical works are featured, among them Francis Chantrey’s famous sculptures in Lichfield Cathedral. The book has biographies, a glossary of special terms and a comprehensive index.
