Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Sculpture of Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire is the fourth and last part of George Noszlopy’s great West Midlands sculpture project, following three former volumes: Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield (1998); Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull (2003); and Staffordshire and the Black Country (2005). Fiona Waterhouse, an editorial assistant on Warwickshire has been his co-author in the last two volumes. Public Sculpture in Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire is the eleventh volume in the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association series, which aims to disseminate research into the commissioning, execution, installation and reception of these important works of art in public spaces, significant parts of our cultural history and heritage. Each of the individual entries includes details about the condition of the sculpture or monument, which may prove helpful to those responsible for planning conservation projects.The volume begins with an introductory essay outlining the distinct features of public sculpture in the region and drawing the reader’s attention to changes in the types of work commissioned over time. It is followed by the main body of the work, a catalogue of public sculpture and monuments dating from medieval times up to 2005. This is arranged alphabetically by town or village within each county. While all extant artistically and historically significant sculptures and monuments are included, judgement had to be applied for reasons of space. Moreover, the focus is on secular rather than ecclesiastical works, with the latter accounting for approximately 10% of the catalogue. A glossary of terms and short biographies of the artists are provided, as well as a bibliography of sources consulted in preparing the volume.

Book excerpt: Working practices between the UK and Welsh Assembly governments in relation to cross-border policies appear much improved since the Committee's earlier reports on this subject. But a number of outstanding issues remain in transport, health and further and higher education. On transport the Committee welcomes the planned electrification of the Great Western Main Line. However, the Department for Transport appears to have washed its hands of any strategic responsibility for cross-border roads. The A483 is the clearest example of a road vital for travel within Wales but which is not important to the English region in which it is located, and as a result loses out on funding. The Committee stresses the need for comparative data on which to build solid research comparing NHS performance in the devolved nations. More needs to be done to raise public awareness of the differences in services people can expect to receive on both sides of the border. Transparency of information is vital. Research proposals in the UK Government's Higher Ambitions strategy for higher education make no reference to nations other than England, despite the UK-wide research remit of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. The Committee calls for details about how research funding proposals apply to all four nations.
