Edward Grubb of Birmingham (1740–1816) was an English stonemason, sculptor and artist, the first unambiguously fine art sculptor to work in Birmingham.[1]
Probably born in Towcester in 1740, he moved with his brother Samuel – also a stonemason – first to Stratford-upon-Avon and then by 1769 to Birmingham.[2] Here he produced several monuments in local churches,[2] and in 1770 the first non-ecclesiastic public sculpture in the town: a statue of a boy and girl in uniform over the entrance to the Blue Coat School.[3]
He returned to Stratford-upon-Avon where he died in 1816.[2]
