The second paid tribute to Crimean War nurse Mary Seacole and was positioned outside St Thomas' Hospital in Central London.Commissions in progress include a larger-than-lifesize sculpture of George Orwell for the exterior of BBC Broadcasting House and statues of John Radcliffe for Oxford and Stanley Baldwin for Bewdley, Worcestershire.
