In 1970 The House of Commons Winston Churchill Memorial Committee assisted by the Royal Fine Art Commission and two expert assessors, one of whom was Sir John Pope Hennessy drew up a shortlist of nine sculptors for the Winston Churchill Memorial commission. The intended location for the sculpture had previously been chosen by Churchill himself. Two of the sculptors, Ivor Roberts-Jones and Oscar Nemon were asked to submit revised proposals and in November the Committee chose Roberts-Jones. The twelve foot high bronze was unveiled in 1973. With its enigmatic expression and mass the statue brilliantly portrays Churchill's grit and greatness or, in the words of a reporter for The Times, his "Bulldog resolution and defiance."
