(b c. 1660; d 1725). English sculptor. He was apprenticed to William King, a mason in London, from 1674 to 1680, when he transferred to serve under the sculptor Edward Pierce (ii), becoming free of the Masons' Company in 1681. He held a variety of offices in the Masons' Company, becoming steward in 1691 and master in 1713. Between 1716 and 1719 he was the mason responsible for the rebuilding of Bakers' Hall, London. His only surviving signed work is the marble tomb (1705) of Sir Robert Clayton, Lord Mayor of London, and Lady Clayton at the church of St Mary the Virgin, Bletchingley, Surrey. This fine Baroque monument portrays the two standing figures in contemporary dress; behind them is a Corinthian aedicula with a broken segmental pediment decorated with flaming urns, cherubs and angels. The influence of Pierce is evident in the lively style of cutting and the expressive quality of the portraiture. Crutcher's son Michael Crutcher (d before 1725) became free of the Masons' Company in 1712; he worked as his father's assistant.
