About

Edmund Burke (1729-1797) was born in Ireland and was a member of the British parliament between 1765 and 1780. He is best remembered as a staunch advocate of conservatism. In the run up to the American Revolution, he was a proponent of preventing violence in the American colonies, sympathizing with the colonists' grievances and opposing the authoritarianism King George III showed.

This does exactly what it says on the tin - it is a statue, and that statue is of Edmund Burke. I didn’t know Edmund personally, but from my research, this statue is an accurate portrayal. They have stopped cutting the grass lately around this statue which has resulted in a more unkempt and rugged appearance. This is the reason that this statue doesn’t warrant full marks.

A statue. It’s well made and a good meeting point if you are in this busy area.
