What to expect

'The most imposing presence is Edward Prince of Wales, more commonly known as the Black Prince. If you like your statues old-school, this is as good as it gets. Way up on a lofty plinth, a man on a horse with a big sword. They don't make 'em like that any more. If only they did. Ed Sheeran on a horse with a big sword? The campaign starts here.'

Critics Review

  • It’s about the good and the bad in people, and how the two intertwine; it’s about who we love to celebrate, who want to punish, and who we want to see immortalized

    Bath Magazine
  • Equal parts travelogue and guide to the nation’s sculptural heritage . . . Roger’s writing is wry, warm and always well-informed

    Cumbria Life magazine
