Hi Josephine Yes I agree, we hadn't even heard of Raja until we saw the statue, and Allan was born in Portishead and lived in Bristol too! We were visiting his mother for the weekend, but stayed at the hotel as it makes it so much easier now that Grace is 86! Gives us a bit of space too.....and also the hotel is really nice. We were there for the weekend of the 'Open Doors' so visited the Glenside museum, the Mansion House and the Muller museum and really enjoyed seeing them all. One of Allan's elderly cousins was one of the Muller children, so made it seem more real.

I didn't know about the statue of Raja Rammohun Roy outside Bristol Cathedral before today though I knew about his tomb in Arnos Vale Cemetery. There must be lots more things to discover about Bristol and neighbourhood if only we knew where to look or are pointed in the right direction.
