Edward Carter Preston

Liverpool-born English artist, sculptor and medallist (1885 - 1965)

He designed the bronze memorial plaques presented to the families of British servicemen and women who died during the First World War. Another major commission for the artist began in 1931 when the architect Giles Gilbert Scott asked him to produce a series of sculptures for the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. The project was an immense undertaking which occupied the artist for the next thirty years. The work for the cathedral included fifty sculptures, ten memorials and several reliefs.

He was the brother-in-law of sculptor Herbert Tyson Smith.
