Background
Description
In January 2021 the campaign had raised over £70,000, enough for the sculpture to be produced by sculptor Denise Dutton. She produced a maquette of the piece, which was publicly displayed at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis on 22 May 2021, Anning's 222nd Birthday. Planning permission for the statue, at a site overlooking Black Ven (where Mary made many of her discoveries), was lodged in November 2021 and granted by Dorset Council in January 2022. The site is at the junction of Long Entry and Gun Cliff Walk in Lyme Regis. <gallery> File:Head on view of the statue of Mary Anning.jpg|Front view File:Mary Anning statue detail.jpg|Detail File:'Mary Anning Rocks' campaign logo.jpg|Mary Anning…
