Joss Naylor did the top and back from the church in 4 minutes 48 seconds when he did the 214 fells in 7 days. Don't think any of us could match that!

The little sculpture was on the mantlepiece of a hotel near Windemere. The owner didn't want to sell!!!

Never seen it anywhere else or read anything about them.

I guess a set number were made, maybe 50, 100 or 500.

When my daughter was about one she picked up a ceramic rabbit from a shelf in a restaurant. the owner came across and said it was just a piece of pot and that she could keep it. Later realised it was a sylvac rabbit valued at £55. always felt a bit guilty even as I look at it now :-/

I remember years ago when I first started to collect my Wainwrights that I was offered a bronze bust of AW's, 10"/12" tall, would have loved to have bought (and should have) it but couldn't get up to the Lakes at the time, children/chickens wouldn't permit and then the link got lost in the ether! I recall the bust was a limited edition by an artist called, Cilve Barnard, but it's a hazy memory. I think other full figures were made of AW. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

I have one of these sculptures. Sculpted by Clive Barnard in 1986 the piece stands around 8" high and depicts AW sat on a pile of stones smoking his pipe. It is no 40 in the second edition of 250. I have the authentication certificate from CE studios in Haverthwaite where Clive was based. Clive used to drink in the same pub as us, and my parents bought this and another piece from him. It's up for sale if anyones interested, contact me by emailing ayay62@dsl.pipex.com and i can send pics etc.

For all those who may be interested..I will be posting the AW sculpture on ebay, if only to judge the amount of interest. Should be up in the next day or so.

I am sure you will be interested in the recent email received from Clive Barnard who did the sculpture.

Dear members,

I received a copy today of the Westmoreland Gazette dated Friday 5th February, it was sent to me by friends in Kendal who thought that I should be aware of the plans for a statue of A.W. for the town.

It was with great interest that I read the front page article outlining the proposed project , the contents of its article also brought back fond memories of a great and talented man, gained whilst he sat for me to sculpt his portrait in my old studio at Haverthwaite. This portrait bust carried out was originally the centre piece of a permanent exhibition to the great mans works originally located in the old barn at Brantwood and now resides in Kendal Museum.

I still have amongst my most treasured possessions, the glasses and pipe he gave me to help with the foundry's fabrication, along with a packet of Benson And Hedges cigarettes that he bought me, as he had smoked all mine. It turned out that A.W. would only agree to have a bronze portrait bust of himself providing that it was myself that carried it out. I remember I was amazed that he was even aware of my existence let alone approved of my work.

I remember that following one sitting the member of the Gazette who had driven him to my studio, suggested that there should be a life sized bronze statue of himself for the centre of Kendal. he exploded!! forcibly disagreeing with the proposal. He did however give me copyright on statues of himself and both, proposed and approved the range of limited edition figurines I produced of him using it.

From the perspective of someone who got to know him quite well, I think that A.W. would rather be remembered by the walkers who still read and use his marvellous guides and a society such as yours.

Yours sincerely

Clive Barnard

John

Thanks for posting John,

I suspected AW may not appreciate the statue in Kendal if he was still with us.

The fleeting hour of life of those who love the hills is quickly spent, but the hills are eternal, always there will be the lonely ridge, the dancing beck, the silent forest, the exhilaration of the summits. These are for the seeking and those who seek and find while there is still time will be blessed both in mind & body. AW- Book 7 The Western Fells.
