Site: Thomas Chatterton - second (1 memorial)
EC1, Brooke Street
See the first positioning of this plaque. In both manifestations the plaque is placed unusually and unnecessarily high, about 14 feet up. This makes it difficult to read, and being read is surely the very purpose of a plaque? We note that Chatterton's body was discovered in his attic room and wonder if this high placement is a nod to that fact - albeit misguided, in our opinion.
