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, the beautiful statue of Elaine Morgan in Mountain Ash and the uplifting statue of Cranogwen in Llangrannog - but we have 2 more statues to deliver to complete our mission. Watch the video below for more information.

Exciting news is coming of the unveiling of our fourth statue - of Lady Rhondda, in Newport. Look out for more information in the coming days.
The winner of the Celtic Collection and South Wales Argus nomination for a community champion to have their hand cast to be part of the Lady Rhondda statue was Tracey Jones. Pictured here with the artist Jane Robbins, Tracey was one of over 30 women who had their hand cast recently, ready to be part of the sculpture.

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.
