Erasmus Darwin statue

During the visit that took place on the 22nd May 2010 to Darwin House, Lichfield members and guests met the sculptor, Peter Walker, who is creating the life and a quarter size statue of Erasmus Darwin that will sit in newly re-developed Beacon Park. The idea was initially developed from discussion between Alison Wallis, Curator of Darwin House and Peter Walker.

To help raise further funds to complete the statue, Peter Walker is producing a limited edition of 12 bronze casts of the model, which will be made available to the public. Furthermore, anyone purchasing a bronze will also have their name immortalized on the statue itself – on a plaque cast in bronze.

This is a unique opportunity to support the creation of a monument to one of the most important figures in this country's history and have your name forever linked to his legacy.
