In 2004, The All England Lawn Tennis Club commissioned sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley to produce bronze busts of the five former Ladies’ Singles British Champions, which would be featured outside Centre Court, nestled amongst the ivy. Here, is the bust of Angela Mortimer, who gained her Wimbledon singles crown in 1961 after an exciting final against Christine Truman. This was the first time both players were British since 1914. Angela did the honours of unveiling the sculpture in April 2004.
