I was only wondering the other day, when I was in Cirencester, what Rory Young might be working on. The SPAB does great work and of course I'd be happy for the blog to be mentioned in your group newsletter.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-46371757317893348742015-09-25T22:00:38.496+01:002015-09-25T22:00:38.496+01:00What a lovely family history in stone Phillip, I s...What a lovely family history in stone Phillip, I shall visit it sometime. Cirencester sculptor Rory Young has apparently just finished work at St Alban's cathedral, I must drive over and see it this winter. Rory is a great supporter of the spab, of which I am the organiser of the gloucestershire group. If you don't mind, I'd like to mention it in our next newsletter when we send it out (by email). Your blog is a treasure trove of wonderful buildings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-28758491301720517832013-10-29T22:14:43.309+00:002013-10-29T22:14:43.309+00:00Stephen: No chance of anything like that today.

The monumental sculptor has very narrow scope these days.<br /><br />Amazing that such polyphiloprogenitivity continued until the time of Blake Morrison's mother. One thinks of it as a phenomenon from the more distant past (in a different league even from two of my oldest friends, who are from families of 9 and 6).Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-25652088003217543682013-10-29T15:31:10.803+00:002013-10-29T15:31:10.803+00:00I wonder if the CofE would allow you to build a si...I wonder if the CofE would allow you to build a similar sort of monument in one of their churches today?<br /><br />I recently attended a talk by the author Blake Morrison who said that his mother was the 19th out of 20 children who were all born in a period of 24 years, some only 10 months apart.
