Thanks for the suggestion Steve, I'll email a picture of the sculpture together with a short note about it to the sculpture park, but I'm afraid my emails dont seem to get past the 'pleb' (!) on the reception...

Thanks Steve, I tried what you suggested and I did get a reply from the curator of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, here is what she said:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Greetings ******************Thank you for your enquiry but I am afraid that I cannot identify the bronze in the photograph. It seems to be an unsatisfactory cast and one that has not had its surface finished to remove the residue of the casting process either.Good luck with your research.With best wishesYours sincerelyAngie de Courcy BowerCurator: YSP Archive--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So while its not particularly what I wanted to hear its useful to know that I'm not hoarding some valuable artwork and that I can continue to use it as a door stop... what a swizz! last time I buy owt like this from a jumble sale.
