Conrad Shawcross & the WB Yeats sculpture

  1. In September 2022, the Project to celebrate WB Yeats in Bedford Park came to fruition with the launch of Enwrought Light, a sculpture by Royal Academician Conrad Shwacross (second right below) outside St Michael & All Angels Church. Yeats is one of two winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature on Chiswick’s Writers Trail; he grew up in Bedford Park, living for some years at 3 Blenheim Road and 8 Woodstock Road. Torin Douglas explained the background on The Chiswick Calendar.
