Dr. Samuel Johnson Statue

Great

This statue is located east of the courtyard of the church, which was the work of Percy Fitzgerald. It was erected in honor of Dr. Samuel Johnson, who attended Mass here. Dr. Johnson, born in 1709 and died in 1784, was a scholar of the eighteenth century in various disciplines. He was also a critic, essayist, scholar, biographer, poet, moralist, playwright and writer, famous both for his wit as for his controversial observations. The church was designed by Cristhopher Wren in 1680 and belongs to the Royal Air Force as can be seen on the inscription on the cross behind the statue.
