Sculpture of the madonna and child in St Michael & All Angels Church, Lyndhurst

Ron Lane (died 1976) was a woodcarver who lived in the New Forest region of Hampshire, England.

Ron Lane was a resident of Dibden Purlieu in Hampshire.[1] He was married to Eleanor.[2] In his lifetime he produced hundreds of wood carvings.[3] Many of his carvings sought to capture in wood the wildlife he saw around him,[2] and included sculptures of dogs, pheasants, owls, otters,[4] mice,[3] birds and fishes.[1]

Sculptures on public display include:

  • A sculpture of the madonna and child in St Michael & All Angels Church, Lyndhurst, Hampshire. The sculpture was dedicated in November 1971.[5] Ron Lane gave a talk about his work in the church in 1972.[5]
  • An oak font cover in St Michael's Church, Inkpen.[6] This font cover entitled "in praise of water" was made in 1972. It features walnut carvings of a series of water creatures including a vole, a dipper, a newt, a kingfisher, and a teal.[6]
  • A sculpture of the madonna and child in St Mary's Church, Crawley, Hampshire.[7] The sculpture was a gift from two American parishioners in 1973.[8]

The Ron Lane Memorial Prize is a regional award for excellence in woodcarving.[9]
