Project to erect statue to 'Purbeck Schindler' reaches major milestone

Available for over a year

Trevor Chadwick from Swanage helped Sir Nicholas Winton rescue 669 children from Czechoslovakia ahead of World War Two, and since January 2020 Purbeck artist Moira Purver has been working towards a lifesize replica of the man flanked by just two of those children he helped save. Now the clay model from which the statue will ultimately be cast is finished. She talked to Steve Harris about the process.
