The original sculpture -listed-Grade II- was by George Wade ( 1853-1953) in 1897. Sadly stolen in 1971. The fate of many metal features these days. More attention needs to be given to installation security methods? The original copyright & mould are held by Westminster City Council. In 2002 an attempt to seek a copy for installation in Rockstone Place , to commemorate the gift to Southampton by the sisters, in 1879, was not given by Westminster City Council. Another copy was in the late Edward Heath’s garden at his house-‘Arundells’ in Salisbury.
