Personal Information    |    Media    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name George Frederick WILSON 
    Birth 28 May 1896 
    • Jun Q 1896 1a 286 Fulham
    Gender Male 
    Occupation Stone carver. 
    • He carved figures on the roofline of the Houses of Parliament and worked on Big Ben, St.Paul's Cathedral, Westminster, Port of London Authority Building, and carved a rectangular bas-relief plaque which is (supposed to be) outside the Main Gate at AERE, Harwell.

      Leonard Sydney Billson joined him for a visit on the scaffolding of the Houses of Parliament. He was scared stiff !!

      Ray Wilson has only a few items carved by his father. The most interesting is a plaster cast of Jesus on the Cross. Ray told me that his father would have sculpted the figure in clay then taken a plaster cast. The cast would then be covered in a series of dots and an instrument used to transfer the three dimensional detail to the stone blank. He also has various photographs of his father's work including one of a bas relief of the face of his wife, Gertrude.
    Death 27 Jul 1950
