In the small park of Islington Green in London, there stands a large white statue.
Not much is known about the Welshman depicted there today, but he played a significant role in bringing clean water to one of the biggest capital cities of the world. Sir Hugh Myddelton was born in 1555 in Denbigh to an influential Welsh family and was one of four brothers. His father, Sir Richard Myddelton, was the governor of Denbigh Castle and had been a member of Parliament.
