Woburn Abbey - suggest you read the text while the photo downloads

This carving is part of the pediment to The East Wing of Woburn Abbey. The stone is 'Perryfield' Portland Stone (limestone). We also carved a large crown at the top of this pediment (photo not yet available online). The carver who had the main contract for the pediment was my very good friend - and excellent carver- John Roberts. John and I trained together and also worked together for several years at Westminster Abbey in the 70's. We still help each other out if needed. John still teaches carving at The City&Guilds of London Art School, where Harry Brockway and I used to teach on Fridays in the early 1990's (but it's too far for us to travel!), and which is where John and I, and many other top carver/sculptors learned to carve. If you want to learn to carve (wood or stone) please do not ask us, but I suggest you contact The City&Guilds of London Art School. (Then from their homepage search for carving - this will give you several options including stonecarving and woodcarving)
