Matthew Bell

Categories: History, Medicine

Psychotherapist who works locally and is interested in local history.   He felt passionately that there should be a memorial where the denouement of the revolt took place and where Tyler fell. Up to this point there had been none.  It took him about a year of bureaucratic to-ing and fro-ing to get the go ahead from The City, St Bart's and English Heritage.   He commissioned Emily Hoffnung to design and carve the memorial.
