Notes:
Based on Christopher Kempster, 'Dictionary of British Sculptors', 2nd ed, 1968. Covers sculptors working commercially and master masons - 'Some of the sculptors in this dictionary are clearly little more than masons and almost nothing is known of their careers, but they have been given entries if they signed even a single work'. Takes the form of scholarly essays on many hundreds of individuals each with schedule of known works
