<p>The Sir Thomas More statue in Chelsea is a bronze sculpture by Leslie Cubitt Bevis (1892–1984), cast by the Morris Singer foundry and unveiled in July 1969. It is distinctive for its gilded face and hands, an unusual modern touch. More is shown seated, wearing the crucifix he took to the scaffold and holding a gold Tudor‑rose collar modelled on one given to him by Henry VIII. His signature is enlarged and cast into the base, while the stone plinth bears the words Scholar, Statesman, and Saint—reflecting his canonisation in 1935.<br />
<br />
The statue stands near the site of More’s Chelsea riverside estate and beside the church he attended. At its unveiling, figures including the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Archbishop of Westminster emphasised themes of religious tolerance. The head is turned slightly upriver, symbolically facing the route of his final journey to the Tower of London.</p>

<br />
Although I grew up in a working class area of a big city I find myself drawn to photograph the the coast and the junction of land, sea and sky. Mankind has been part of this landscape for thousands of years and we are now as much a part of it as the waves.<br />
<br />
As I have moved house I don't get to visit Morston much now, however a trip to the vets with a rather unwell dog for a check up meant that I was in the area.<br />
<br />
Morston is still a wonderful place to photograph and the dog is back on fine form although he has diabetes.</p>
