Introduction
According to the Mapping Sculpture website, Broadbent, who was born in Shipley, Yorkshire, came from a family of stone carvers. “Broadbent was considered one of the best of his generation by Kineton Parkes in 1921. He was one of the artists who created a portrait statue for the facade of the Victoria and Albert Museum.”
