I should have done. I've walked past it often enough.<BR/><BR/>It's one of a group of figures standing where people were killed for their beliefs.<BR/><BR/>There are three. Two represent all Dorchester martyrs, whether Catholic or Protestant and they stand side by side, facing the third figure - hooded and faceless - Death.<BR/><BR/>But . . . Philip has found a reference to one particular martyr (which one?).<BR/><BR/>And when I Googled them, I found an entry which includes the Tolpuddle Martyrs.<BR/><BR/>These were nineteenth century farm labourers who gathered to discuss their bad pay and working conditions when such meetings were against the law. Some were transported to Australia. I don't recollect that any were killed - but I'll have to check that too!.<BR/><BR/>I've never previously thought they are included in the idea of this sculpture but . . .<BR/><BR/>However . . . beside the group of statues, there is a list of the names of the martrys.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to go back and pay more attention to them!<BR/><BR/>Then I'll let you know!<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Corranderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743561298706555813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990121379662700939.post-16236444596122966582008-11-17T03:30:00.000+00:002008-11-17T03:30:00.000+00:00What a beauty Lucy! :)What a beauty Lucy! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990121379662700939.post-57683950342519699862008-11-17T02:30:00.000+00:002008-11-17T02:30:00.000+00:00Hi Lucy!

It is always a pleasure to hear from you. <BR/><BR/>And I am so glad that you have reconsidered one of my favorite flowers, the hydrangea. I used to dislike the chalky blue ones immensely, but now I realize that you just have to look a little closer at them. When they fade to lime green, and pink in the fall, they are stunning.<BR/><BR/>JenRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990121379662700939.post-26394664879663166512008-11-16T15:37:00.000+00:002008-11-16T15:37:00.000+00:00Who is he and why was he a martyr?I have a link to...Who is he and why was he a martyr?<BR/><BR/>I have a link to your blog on my blog and do enjoy your pics very much, even tho I don't comment on every one.<BR/><BR/>Have a Blessed Sunday!<BR/>-SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14720793610870927446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990121379662700939.post-52691386924038610592008-11-16T09:31:00.000+00:002008-11-16T09:31:00.000+00:00I've seen this statue - good angle Lucy.
