Captain Mainwaring
The statue, a bronze by Sean Hedges-Quinn, is situated close to the centre of Thetford, the filming location for much of the BBC series 'Dad's Army' (1968-77). Actors and crew stayed at the nearby 'Bell' and soon to be demolished 'Anchor' hotels. The role of 'Captain Mainwaring' was played by Arthur Lowe.

At the Dad's Army Museum, I was advised that the background building was the local Home Guard HQ during WWII.
