Statue of Richard Grosvenor, Second Marquess of Westminster edit

Statue of Richard Grosvenor, Second Marquess of Westminster

  • ... that when the Statue of Richard Grosvenor (pictured) was created in the 1860s, it was said to have been the largest sculpture to be carved from a single block of marble in Britain?

Created by Peter I. Vardy (talk). Self nominated at 20:16, 28 December 2013 (UTC).

  • New article, long enough, spot checks show no copyvio or close paraphrasing, well written and neutral in tone. Offline source accepted in good faith for the hook which is short enough and interesting (to me at least). Image is used in the article suitably licenced (if a little dark).— Rod talk 09:29, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
