Walter Ritchie was a British sculptor, one of the last living pupils of Eric Gill at Pigotts near High Wycombe before the Second World War. Many of his public works were in stone, wood, metal and brick relief, as many of his commissions were for public buildings. Ritchie never had assistants. His mistakes, he used to say, were his own. He never mixed in social circles and refused offers to help him set up in London.
