Stephen Gardiner Epstein writes: It was organ builder Noel Mander (obituary, September 29) who was instrumental in finding a permanent site for one of Sir Jacob Epstein's greatest works, Ecce Homo. After the sculptor's death, opposition from various quarters prevented it going to St Paul's as the cathedral's Chapter had wished. Mander's brilliant idea was that it should be placed in the old cathedral ruins at Coventry and, despite some further opposition, it was moved there in 1969.
