It was unveiled in 1996 to mark the bicentenary of his birth at Field Place on the outskirts of the town. That was the sole reason for the installation of Angela Conner’s work. When considering a replacement, for certain, Shelley should be given pride of place - perhaps in the form of a more conventional edifice.
After all, Shelley spent his boyhood in and around Horsham - and we should be proud of that fact - as our town has no other who can match his fame and the continuing lure of his poetic works world-wide.
