Big news we signed off Sylvia Townend Warners Mark at the weekend. Artist Denise Dutton who created the Mary Anning statue has done it again. We are so thrilled and we can’t wait to sit on the bench and have a chat with Sylvia.
A fifth scale Maquette of how Sylvia Townsend Warner statue will look. She is sat on a bench in 1930s dress with her trademark curly short bob and wire rimmed glasses. She has pearls around her neck and wears a beautiful cascade jacket and tweed skirt. There are a cascade of books falling from her lap and a cat Rubbing his head around her legs.
