We are delighted to share news of an upcoming exhibition by sculptor Jacob Chandler, taking place at the historic church of St James Garlickhythe in the City of London.
Meet Jacob Chandler, an inspiring artist we’ve championed. He navigates the challenges of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and colitis while also serving as a dedicated ambassador for others living with EDS.
St James Garlickhythe is a landmark Christopher Wren church, situated in the very parish where William Shakespeare lived during some of his time in London.
The venue recently hosted In Hoc Signo, a collaboration with Byrga Geniht, establishing a wonderful backdrop for contemporary sculpture within a setting rich in heritage.
The arms of the City of London (from St James Garlickhythe); and the golden sculpture ‘In Hoc Signo: II, Trinity’ (Chandler, Wenn and Syrett, 2025).
Jacob has enjoyed a close connection with Soulton Hall, having previously created our As You Like It dancers commission.
Following his recent work designing and crafting the trophies for the Invictus Games, this upcoming London exhibition represents another exciting milestone in his artistic journey. We understand that pieces from the As You Like It dancers series will be included in the show.

Of course, the dancers are not the only figures central to As You Like It. Rumours suggest that old Sir Rowland may also have captured Jacob’s creative attention, though the full shape of what that might bring remains to be revealed…
It is marvelous to see Jacob exhibiting his work in the heart of the City of London, bridging historic connections between Shropshire and the capital.
