Jay Battle

Date of birth 20.May.66
Place of birth Toronto
Country of residence United Kingdom

Jay Battle moved to England from Toronto in the late 80s to pursue his interest in medieval architecture and sculpture.

He was able partly to fulfil this as a member of the group helping to restore Salisbury Cathedral.

Although still young, he was promoted to Head Carver and commissioned to sculpt four new figures for the cathedral's west front, an aspect of the building that had not been added to in the last hundred years.
