Statue of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in the Café Garden in Abbey Park, Leicester. There is a memorial to him not many yards away in the abbey ruins, but the whereabouts of his remains is apparently a mystery. He died in 1530 after a varied and interesting career, including a long spell as Henry VIII's Chancellor.
The statue was donated by the Wolsey Knitwear Company, whose nearby factory building in Abbey Meadows became a care home.
