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.

- Her marriage certificate gives her age as 23 years old which would have meant she was born in 1900 instead of 1903.
Joyce Wilson says that this was a lie in order to get married before she came of age !!!
