Biography

Rosamund Fletcher was the sister of artist Christina and both were daughters of the painter William Teulen Blandford Fletcher (1858-1937). Rosamund studied in Oxford and at the Slade School in London from 1935. She became a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors. Influenced by her father’s style, she primarily created religious works and animal figures. Fletcher worked directly on the stone. In her final years, she lived in a convent and left her legacy to various catholic institutions. With her relief The End of the Covert she won the bronze medal in the 1948 Art Competitions at the London Games in the category Mixed Sculpturing and Reliefs. Although her birth appears not to have registered until 1915 she appears in the 1911 UK census. The 1908 date of birth is supported by the census and her death certificate.
