The statue of John Bunyan by John Garbe, Baptist Church House, on the corner of Catton Street and Southampton Row.

'As I walk'd through the wilderness of this

world, I lighted on a certain place, where

was a Denn; & I laid me down in that place to

sleep: And as I slept I dreamed a dream.'

 

Obviously, this is a quotation from Pilgrim's Progress.
