I was delighted to see (23 May 15) the photograph of the statues of the seven martyrs (including Oscar Romero) which were recently installed in St Albans Cathedral but I was disappointed that no mention was made of the fact that these statues were designed, carved, painted and installed by the renowned sculptor, Rory Young, who lives and works here in Cirencester.
I have seen something of the evolution of these splendid statues over the past five years from early design through to successful completion and I can testify to the skill, dedication and sensitivity which Rory has brought to this important task from start to finish. He has also, inter alia, carried out significant work at York Minster, Gloucester Cathedral and Southwell Minster.
