Item Details
Description
An English Patinated Bronze Figure: Hero
19TH CENTURY
signed Singers/Frome Founders
Height 21 inches.
John Webb Singer was born on February 23, 1819 in The Butts area of Frome.

In 1848, he began a small forge on Eagle Lane and a workshop above his shop, and employing eight men and six boys, the J.W. Singer & Sons foundry at Waterloo grew to employ at its height a skilled workforce of seven hundred.

Through his contacts in Europe, Singer brought the highly skilled processes of sand and lost wax methods of casting to Frome. Without this innovation, iconic statues such as Boudica on the Thames Embankment by Westminster Bridge and the Figure of Justice that crowns the Old Bailey would not have been cast in Frome.
