FIVE WELSH WOMEN • FIVE STATUES • FIVE YEARS
We're Monumental Welsh Women, the team behind the first ever statues of real welsh women in Wales. Our mission is inspired by the fact that before we started our campaign, there was not one single public statue commemorating the achievements of real Welsh Women. Welsh girls couldn’t see what they could be. We aim to change this by commissioning 5 statues of 5 real Welsh women. We have so far successfully delivered the iconic Betty Campbell Monument in Cardiff and the beautiful statue of Elaine Morgan in Mountain Ash - but we have 3 more statues to deliver to complete our mission.
Our statue of Cranogwen will be unveiled on 10th June 2023 in Llangrannog. Don't miss it!

Cranogwen has been unveiled but we have 2 more statues to create to complete our mission, Lady Rhondda in Newport and Elizabeth Andrews in Mountain Ash.
10th June 2023 is the date! The statue of Cranogwen, created by sculptor Sebastien Boyesen will be unveiled in Llangrannog. This will be our third statue of a named Welsh woman to be erected in Wales. Join us on the day for the unveiling procession, singing, dancing and lots of celebrating.

Work on the garden that will surround the statue of Cranogwen is now complete and ready for the unveiling on 10th June . The Llangrannog group are still raising money to fund the planting for the garden. Their crowdfunding page is: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/llangrannog-garden
Our fifth and final statue - of Elizabeth Andrews - is now under way. We have been offered a site outside the Penderyn Whisky Distillery and a very generous contribution from the team at Penderyn Whisky and are due to start commissioning soon.
