Sculptor. Born Bradford and studied at Nottingham School of Art where he met his wife Mary, who also studied sculpture there. 

Other work in London includes: An allegorical group on the National Westminster Bank, 1 Prince's Street (the north-east corner of the Bank junction) (1929-32). Victorian Web have images and an assessment.  This group includes a magic square - the second we have found in London - see Haines House Bloomsbury for the other. Gillick also created the lovely Asia and Britannia caryatids on the Brazilian Embassy, Cockspur Street (1918). We've found references to work on the Royal Academy façade, figures on Marble Arch and also at Selfridges but we have no specifics.

Bursill also sculpted the allegorical statues on Holborn bridge and seems to be the same man who produced a book on hand shadows in 1851. See Speel for some more info on Bursill.
