More than 250 years later, his portrait is once again being made in North Walsham.\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003eStanding 64cm tall, the bust is cast in high-quality Herculite plaster, carefully finished by hand and lightly treated with linseed oil to lend warmth to the surface and bring out its sculptural detail.
