Biographical Details
On 18 February 1757 the Berwick-upon-Tweed works committee ‘Called before them Mr. Charles Litaneer the carver and endeavoured to know from him the lowest price he could carve the Town Arms upon stone and also upon wood’ for the town hall. Just over a month later his model was rejected and Christopher Richardson was appointed to carry out the work (Guildbook, 18 February, 22 March 1757, in Gunnis 1968, 320).
