Okay. Statues are not flavour of the month. But spare a thought for the often overlooked Sir Thomas Browne. He is considered "a writers writer" and is acknowledged as being one of the finest writers in the English language. Only Shakespeare has contributed more words and phrases to our language than Sir Thomas Browne. Words like: "Suicide", "Computer", "Electricity" and "Migrant" are his. Writers like Herman Melville revered him. If it wasn't for Sir Thomas, Melville would not have written the American classic; "Moby Dick". Consequently Starbucks would be called something else like Heathcliff and the DJ "Moby", a direct descendant of Melville, would simply be called Dick. On the square or "plain" as they are called in Norwich; the people sit with their Primark bags and contemplate their Big Mac Meal with the same gaze of intent and awe as Sir Thomas upon his pedestal puzzling over the origin and mystery of Anglo-Saxon pottery.
