# Statue of Aneurin Bevan

A statue of Aneurin Bevan stands at the western end of Queen Street, Cardiff, Wales in recognition of Aneurin Bevan (1897 – 1960) who is credited with founding the National Health Service (NHS). It has been described as "perhaps one of Wales' most iconic statues".
The statue was erected in 1987, designed by Robert Thomas.

## Background

Bevan became Labour MP for Ebbw Vale in 1929, subsequently an effective public speaker known for his left wing views and being temporarily expelled from the party on two occasions (one of them for his opposition to nuclear weapons). He was elected to the Labour's National Executive and became Minister for Health in the post-war Labour government, where he was behind the nationalisation of healthcare and founding of the NHS. As Minister for Housing he took steps to solve the post-war housing shortage. Bevan remained MP for Tredegar until his death in 1960.

## Statue

The statue was commissioned by South Glamorgan County Council and designed by Welsh sculptor, Robert Thomas, who also created a number of other sculptures in Cardiff city centre. The statue was erected in 1987 at the far end of Queen Street. It is the only statue of Bevan (as of 2021) in the United Kingdom.
The figure of Bevan, wearing a suit and leaning forward in a typical pose, is cast in bronze and stands on top of a polished granite pedestal. The statue is 1.83 metres (6.0 ft) in height, while the pedestal is 2.14 metres (7.0 ft) high. In gold on the front of the pedestal are the words "Founder of the National Health Service".
In 2018, as the 70th anniversary of the founding of the NHS approached, plastic spikes were added to Bevan's head to deter the regular visits of seagulls, who had frequently covered Bevan's head with their guano.
The statue is often used as the focus, or starting point, of events, demonstrations and protests.

## History

French River had also been known by the name Clifton during the early settlement years. Clifton, the first townsite surveyed in the United States section of the North Shore, was platted west of the mouth of the French River in 1855. The river was known to early explorers as Riviere des Français and to the Ojibwe as Angwassago zibi, meaning 'Floodwood River'. Rumors of nearby copper deposits resulted in widespread prospecting and townsite planning in the 1850s. Like many of the projected towns, Clifton never developed. From 1864 to 1866, the French River Mining Company and the North Shore Mining Company dug several exploratory shafts, but failed to locate profitable copper deposits. Extensive lumbering operations were carried on in the vicinity during the 1880s.

# Free Presbyterian Church Synod of the United States

Free Presbyterian Church Synod of the United States was an anti-slavery denomination formed of churches that had withdrawn from Old School and New School Presbyterian Churches and that first organized as the Free Synod of Cincinnati in 1847.
The instigator was the Rev. John Rankin, a fervent abolitionist and pastor of a New School Presbyterian Church in Ripley, Ohio, who had unsuccessfully petitioned the General Assembly of his denomination to exclude slaveholders from membership. The Free Presbyterian Church remained small with seven presbyteries, about 72 congregations, and 70 ministers and licentiates, scattered from Pennsylvania to Iowa—though most congregations were in southern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. The church launched a newspaper, the Free Presbyterian in 1850 and Iberia College in 1854. At its peak in the early 1850s, the church had perhaps a thousand to two thousand communicants.
The church never developed a strong organization and in theology remained close to Presbyterian orthodoxy. Rankin had no desire to create his own ecclesiastical empire, and no other strong leaders appeared to solidify the organization. Although the Free Church may have challenged the conscience of the older Presbyterian bodies, it dwindled with the coming of the American Civil War. The synod itself did not meet after 1863, and most of the presbyteries failed to meet after 1865, though some Free Churches may have briefly survived the war.

# Staurothele elenkinii

Staurothele elenkinii is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. It was described as new to science by Ukrainian lichenologist Alfred Oxner in 1927, from the steppes of Ukraine. In 2013 it was recorded from the northeast Caucasus, in Russia. It is also widespread on dry rocks in the North American west, ranging from the Northwest Territories south to the southwestern United States. It grows on shales, sandstones, and calcareous rocks.

## Description

The thallus of Staurothele elenkinii is scant, sometimes limited to tiny black verrucules (minute, pimple-like structures) on the rock surface. In other cases, the thallus is apparent as only a paling of the natural rock colour. Perithecia occur singly in the verrucules, measuring up to 0.5 mm in width. They are hemispherical with a constricted base and a constricted involucrellum. The ascospores number two per ascus; they are dark brown, muriform, i.e., divided into internal chambers by up to eight transverse septa and three longitudinal septa, and measure 33–62 by 18–33 μm.
Another Staurothele species, found in the southern Great Plains in central North America, Staurothele nemorum, is somewhat similar in appearance. S. nemorum can be distinguished from S. elenkinii by its eight-spored asci, and by its shorter (23.8–31.4 by 11.5–14.4 μm), hyaline or pale-coloured ascospores.

# Fremontodendron mexicanum

Fremontodendron mexicanum is a rare species of shrub in the mallow family known by the common names Mexican flannelbush, Mexican fremontia, and Southern flannelbush, that is endemic to the central Peninsular Ranges in Mexico and the United States.

## Distribution

The species is known from about ten occurrences in northern Baja California state and adjacent southern San Diego County, California. However, it has most recently been confirmed to exist in only two of those locales currently. In 1993, fewer than 100 individuals were thought to exist. In the United States it is a federally listed endangered species.

### Ecology

The shrub grows generally on alluvial plains, in California montane chaparral and woodlands and temperate coniferous forest habitats, among Tecate cypress (Cupressus forbesii) trees.

## Description

Fremontodendron mexicanum is an erect, flowering shrub or multi-trunked small tree reaching 6–15 feet (1.8–4.6 m) high, with branches spreading to 10 feet (3.0 m) wide.
The leathery and furry olive green leaves are up to 5 centimeters long and divided into several wide lobes.
The solitary flowers, each about 6 centimeters wide, appear spread along the branches. The showy flowers are made up of five bright orange sepals and have no true petals.

### Cultivation

Fremontodendron mexicanum is cultivated as an ornamental plant by specialty plant nurseries, for planting in native plant, drought tolerant, and wildlife gardens, and in natural landscaping and habitat restoration projects.
Cultivated plants need good drainage, and no supplemental summer water when established.

#### Hybrids

There are several named hybrids of Fremontodendron mexicanum and Fremontodendron californicum in the horticultural trade, they include:
* Fremontodendron 'California Glory' — lemon-yellow flowers with a reddish tinge, grows 20 feet (6.1 m) in height by 20 feet (6.1 m) in width. It is the winner of the Award of Garden Merit from the California Horticultural Society in 1965, and received a First Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1967.
* Fremontodendron 'Ken Taylor' — golden flowers with a darker orange outside petals in the spring and summer, and grows to only 5 feet (1.5 m) in height by 8–10 feet (2.4–3.0 m) in width.
* Fremontodendron 'Dara's Gold' — golden flowers over a long period from late winter through early summer, grows 3 feet (0.91 m) in height by 6–8 feet (1.8–2.4 m) in width. A hybrid between Fremontodendron decumbens and Fremontodendron mexicanum.

# Richard le Brun

Richard le Brun (died after 1324) was an English-born cleric, judge and Crown official in fourteenth-century Ireland. He was Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer 1319-1324.
He is first heard of in 1310, when he was acting as attorney in England to Nicholas de Balscote, a senior figure in the Exchequer of Ireland who became Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland the same year, and Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer three years later. Richard later moved to Ireland and obtained a position at the Exchequer, where he was described as a "King's clerk". His precise job was "engrosser", which generally meant a copier of deeds, but in view of his later eminence, it was presumably a senior enough position. He also served as an itinerant justice in County Wexford. In 1320 Nicholas Babau acknowledged that Richard and William de Bardelby, afterwards Master of the Rolls in Ireland, had the right to a crop of wheat in Balgoray (possibly Ballygorey, County Kilkenny).
He was in holy orders and became a prebendary both in the Diocese of Cloyne and the Diocese of Ossory. He became a Baron of the Exchequer in 1319, and almost immediately replaced Balscote, who was in disgrace following a quarrel with King Edward II of England, as Chief Baron. Richard held that office until 1324, when he was replaced by Adam de Harvington. His date of death is not recorded.
There was a later judge of the same name, who may have been a relative of the first Richard. The second Richard served as a justice of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland) in the 1330s.
