Another memorial monument, entitled "Religion", was shown at an international exhibition in 1862. His work can be seen in churches throughout England and Wales. He made busts of many contemporary figures. In 1881, sponsored by George Frederic Watts, he was awarded a pension under the Turner bequest, but he died shortly after receiving it. He was buried in Highgate Cemetery.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=The Spirit of Love and Truth|url=http://www.victorianweb.org/sculpture/edwards/3.html|website=The Victorian Web|accessdate=28 November 2016|date=2 January 2014}} 2. ^{{cite journal |last= Ellis|first=Megan|authorlink= |coauthors= |year= |month= |title=Edwards, Joseph|journal=Dictionary of Welsh Biography |volume= |issue= |pages= |id= |url=http://wbo.llgc.org.uk/en/s-EDWA-JOS-1814.html|accessdate=2 January 2010 |quote= }} External links
