Folkestone, Harvey Statue 1887

A hooded bathchair stands before the Victorian buildings and the bronze statue of William Harvey, a 16th-century
native of the town; he achieved renown for his work in discovering the fact that blood circulates within the body
through the network of arteries, veins and capillaries. He holds a heart in his hand. In the company of the young
sons of Charles I, he watched the Battle of Edgehill during the English Civil War, before dying in 1657 after
reputedly taking poison after learning that he was losing his sight.
