This statue of Thomas More was erected in 1888, and designed along with the building by George Sherrin. Despite More’s greatness, this was one of the first public recognitions of his work. The building was once the home of the Women’s Press Club, and has many interesting features. The full-length figure of More shows him dressed his in usual cap and collar. There is an inscription on the statue that reads ‘Sir Thomas More, Knight. Some time Lord High Chancellor of England. Martyred 6th July 1535. The faithful servant of both God and King’.
