Lord Verulam, also known as Francis Bacon, was a prominent figure in the 16th and 17th centuries. Born in 1561, Bacon became one of the most influential philosophers, scientists, and statesmen of his time. He is often referred to as the father of empiricism and the scientific method. Bacon's contributions to society were vast and varied. As a member of The Royal Society, he played a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge during his lifetime. His engraving can be seen on the frontispiece to Thomas Sprat's "The History of the Royal Society, " showcasing his importance within this esteemed institution. Despite being renowned for his own achievements, Bacon came from an illustrious lineage. His father Sir Nicholas Bacon was Lord Keeper while Sr Nicolas Bacon served as Lord Keeper before him. These familial connections likely influenced Francis' upbringing and education. Pathfinders such as Sir Francis Bacon paved the way for future generations with their groundbreaking ideas. Even after his death in 1626, Bacon's legacy continued to inspire scholars across various disciplines. The Canonbury Tower stands today as a testament to history; it was once an old manor house that has been transformed into a social club. This location serves as a reminder of how times have changed since Lord Verulam's era but still retains its historical significance. Various artworks depict Francis Bacon throughout history - from scarce prints dating back to 1897 by John Leech to more recent renditions like those created in 1933 by unknown artists or Paulus van Somer's painting circa 1600 showing him styled as Viscount St Albans. Lastly, we cannot forget about St Michael's Church in St Albans where there is a monument dedicated to Sir Francis Bacon himself. This artwork by G Cooke showcases his importance not only during his lifetime but also long after he passed away. Lord Verulam left an indelible mark on history.
