ernie wise.jpgThe fact that Morley's plans to honour its home-grown hero have eventually come to fruition is down to the generosity of his widow, Doreen. She agreed to fund the sculpture as local fund raising faltered. Morley Murals Committee, which had been trying to raise the money, is delighted (and so am I!). I completed the drawings for Ernie in May 2009 and have now chosen the stone that will become the Ernie Wise sculpture. I am now in the process of outlining the structure of the stone before I begin to carve the statue.

The statue of Ernie has been highlighted in the national press including the BBC, the Daily Express and the official 'Eric & Ern' tribute website.
