1885 - The unveiling ceremony of the statue of the late Charles Robert Darwin which was the resultant of the Darwin Memorial Fund : 'On the death of Charles Darwin it was felt that though his name would live on in his works, and effort should be made to provide a visible record of his personal aspect and a memorial of the esteem of his contemporaries'. The text heads the report of the committee formed in May 1882. They decided that part of the fund should be applied to the erection of a statue in the British Museum. The report lists subscribers to the fund and records that Sir John Hawkshaw F.R.S. donated £100 (equivalent to £11,930 in 2019) to the fund. [716]
