Chelmsford High St, Essex

One of my favourite buildings in the High St, currently the HSBC bank, located on the edge of what used to be Tindal Square.   Judge Tindal's statue can be seen in front. 

Sir Nicholas Conyngham Tindal (12 December 1776 – 6 July 1846) was a celebrated English lawyer who successfully defended the then Queen of the United Kingdom, Caroline of Brunswick, at her trial for adultery in 1820. As Chief Justice of Common Pleas, an office he held with distinction from 1829 to 1846, he was responsible for the inception of the special verdict "Not Guilty by reason of insanity" at the trial of Daniel M'Naghten.

Judge Tindal was born in the Moulsham area of Chelmsford.  Wikipedia


An unremarkable, but useful and pleasant day even though it was cold, grey and damp with a very busy afternoon that included an hour with my solicitor over a coffee, and some shopping and business stuff.  Bro joined me late afternoon and this evening we went, with friend, to our favourite Indian restaurant for delicious dins which of course included the obligatory overeating that seems to be the norm once behind the closed doors of a curry house.
