{{For|the Scottish recipient of the Victoria Cross|Walter Potter Ritchie}}Walter Ritchie (1919– 12 February 1997) was a British sculptor.[1]BiographyRitchie had been one of the last living apprentices of Eric Gill at Pigotts near High Wycombe after the Second World War. Many of his public works were in brick relief, and have suffered loss from building redevelopment. Sir Herbert Read took an interest in the young sculptor and tried to introduce him to the London social life where he would be assured commissions. Instead, Ritchie chose to stay at home in Kenilworth.[2]Public works- Man's Struggle: Two large Portland stone reliefs in Coventry Precinct (created between 1954 and 1959) Since relocated to the outer wall of the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum in Coventry.
