Summary
| Description | One of four statues of the Latin Fathers, sculpted by James Redfern for Bristol Cathedral. Rejected as being too 'papist', they were rescued by George Edward Street and placed on the tower of this church. James Redfern from the church in East Heslerton, Yorkshire. James Frank Redfern (1838-1876), sculptor, was born at Hartington, Derbyshire, in 1838. As a boy he showed a taste for art by carving and modelling from the woodcuts of illustrated papers. At the suggestion of the vicar of Hartington, he executed in alabaster a group of a warrior and a dead horse. This was brought to the notice of Alexander Beresford-Hope, on whose estate Redfern was born. Hope sent him to Paris to study for six months. His first work exhibited at the Royal Academy, Cain and Abel (1859), attracted the notice of John Henry Foley. He exhibited a Holy Family in 1861, The Good Samaritan in 1863, and other subjects almost every year until his death. These were at first chiefly of a sacred character, and afterwards portrait statues. His larger works were principally designed for Gothic church decoration. |
