IZAAK WALTON'S BUST

The Izaak Walton bust sits on a ledge in the north aisle of The Church of  Mary, St Mary's Gate in Stafford. It was in this church that Walton was baptized on Sept 21st, 1593. The marble sculpture was created by RC Bett in 1878 - after a public fund-raising drive paid for the artwork.

Memorial marble tablet in the London church where Walton was a churchwarden and vestryman between 1632-44. His first wife and seven children are buried in the churchyard; close to where his publisher, Richard Marriot, had his bookshop - where "The Compleat Angler" was sold.
Walton only lived a few yards away in Chancery Lane, which allowed him access to the River Thames and Lea to go fishing.
