Ludlow Castle- large cast bronze art medal Ron Dutton 2011 Shropshire RD232

Ludlow – a cast bronze art medal by Ron Dutton 2011, ancient Shropshire town.

View of Ludlow castle with on the reverse a map of the castle grounds as extant.  And go, and luck go with you while Ludlow Tower shall stand.  AEH (A E Housman’s poem – The Recruit, poem III in A Shropshire Lad)

Numbered on edge:  this example no. 8/100.  640g.  83mm. x 110mm.

Exhibited at FIDEM XXXII Glasgow 2012

This is one of a series of 5 medals created in 2010-2011 inspired by architecture in Shropshire;  Ludlow Castle, Wenlock Abbey, Clun Castle, Stokesay Dark Tower and Buildwas Abbey.  Although all the medals are in editions of 100, it would appear that Dutton only cast the first 10 or so of each medal.  Therefore where I have more that one in stock I’ll change the number on the edge as they sell.
