Since 2005, Art School students and graduates have been producing new grotesques for the string-course girdling the external walls of St. George’s Chapel as part of its £45m restoration programme. To date more than 40 new grotesquese have been approved by the Fabric Advisory Committee with many already in situ. In 2015 an exhibition held in the Cloisters of St George’s celebrated the 10th anniversary of the project, with a publication printed in 2016.
The ‘Corbel Angel’ (which was privately commissioned by the Danish Royal family to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee) was completed by a student and installed in Spring 2012.
