Percy George Bentham

Percy George Bentham (1883–1936) was a British sculptor whose works include portrait busts, statues and several war memorials.

Among the faces are those of the Bishop of St Albans, the Archdeacon of Bedford, the vicar of Eaton Socon, the churchwardens, the architect, the clerk of the works, and the builders' foreman.
