Recent additions include a fulsomely illustrated page on Fleet Street, a longish page on mostly architectural sculpture in Cornhill, City of London, and a page drawing together the several pages on this site on Animal sculpture.

In the occasional addition to the series of Manchester pages on this site, there is a new, short page on the Abraham Lincoln Statue in Lincoln Square. In London, there is a new page on St Martin's Ludgate, and in West London, a note on monuments in Ruislip Parish Church.

For those with an interest in drawing, there is a new page of horse sculptures for drawing.

Sculpture of the Month for May is the Statue of Eros, Piccadilly Circus.
