From the September 8, 2013, BBC News: Guernsey "Sir Isaac Brock statue at Guernsey markets approval with time limit."
A 7'4" bronze statue of Guernsey's War of 1812 hero may be up by 2014. The cost of it is estimated to be around 80,000 pounds and half of that sum has already been raised. It is sponsored by RBC Wealth Management who has offered to pay half the cost.
The thought is to place it ion an empty plinth on Market Square. Oliver Brock is a distant relative of Isaac Brock.
The Environmental Department has a time limit on it and still think there might be a more suitable site for it.
Isaac Brock is one of the reasons for the Brock-Perry sign-off tag. The other being Oliver Hazard Perry.
