Bucks County recognizes Henry Mercer as its renowned sculptor, but the talent didn’t stop with Henry! William Mercer, Henry’s brother, created much of the concrete architectural work seen throughout Aldie Mansion. His molds and sculptures evoke the fine artisan craftsmanship of yesteryear that is so rarely seen today.
