In Statue of Winston Churchill, Woodford, how is the Reception of the History elucidated?

Initial reactions to photographs of the work in progress were unfavourable, including those of members of Churchill's own family. Clementine Churchill, a fierce defender of her husband's reputation and public image, wrote to McFall suggesting that the face was "a caricature of Winston" and requesting changes. McFall made alterations, and Lady Churchill adjusted her opinion (see box). The reaction at the unveiling, and subsequently, was more positive; Pathé News reported in its contemporary account that "the essence of Sir Winston is caught in the brilliant sculpture by David McFall". Churchill's own comment on the statue at the unveiling ceremony was, "very nice". Historic England describes the statue as a "highly regarded, purposeful, yet sympathetic sculptural representation of Britain's iconic war-time Prime Minister in his later years".
