Geoffrey Clarke (1924-2014).

 
Geoffrey Clarke died on 30 October.
 
Clarke was one of the youngest of the talented team of artists who worked at Coventry Cathedral (Patrick Reyntiens is now the sole survivor). Clarke designed three of the nave windows, the high altar cross and candleholders, the canopy in the Guild Chapel and the flying cross on the fleche of the new Cathedral. He was one of Spence's favorite sculptors and produced magnifient site-specific sculptures for many of his other buildings, namely Thorn House, the Physics buildings at Liverpool, Newcastle and Exeter University, and Spence's own house at Beaulieu.'
