Join us for a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at one of Grantham’s most talked-about landmarks — the statue of Margaret Thatcher. In this engaging talk, Cllr Graham Jeal shares the inspiration behind the project – to raise funds for the Grantham Museum where each pound raised would be split between the educational charity and the statue. This talk will discuss the remarkable journey of fundraising, the community effort behind its creation, and the alternative designs that have never been revealed to the public… until now.
Discover the challenges, debates, the challenges and the moments involved in honouring Grantham’s most famous daughter, and get a rare glimpse at a statue that could have been.
