Biography
Webb was the daughter of the architect Morpeth Webb and was born at Stamford in Lincolnshire.[1] Throughout her career, Webb made sculptures in bronze, clay and plaster and, during the inter-war decades, was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy in London, with the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh, at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and at the Paris Salon.[1][2] A 1949 ceramic model of the Holy Family by Webb is in Southwell Minster in Nottinghamshire.[1] For the later half of her life, Webb lived at Melton Mowbray, where she died in 1957.[2][3]
