In this year of anniversaries, we asked A-Level students who they might choose to erect a statue of in Parliament Square. Choices had to be argued in an essay of no more than 2000 words. The standard of entries was very high and there were some very interesting choices - some familiar, and some not so familiar names. There were also some controversial choices and judges found it very interesting to unpick how each case was argued. 

Following a difficult decision making process, we are delighted to announce Luke Fowler of Nottingham High School as our winner. Luke's essay provided a convincing and well argued case for Trevor Huddleston, a key anti-apartheid campaigner to have a statue erected. Congratulations to Luke. As the winner, Luke's essay will be published in a future edition of the Historian and can be downloaded below.

The judges would also like to give an honourable mention to runner
up Daisy Everingham of Southend High School for Girls for her unusual choice of Ho Chi Minh. This essay can also be accessed below.

Well done to all of those who entered the competition and each
will receive an HA pin badge.
