Winston Churchill described the funding of the statue of Robert Ascroft in My Early Life:
'They made a subscription of more than £2,000, the bulk collected in very small sums, to set up a statue to him as ‘The Workers’ Friend’. They stipulated – and I thought it characteristic of these Lancashire operatives – that the money was not to go to anything useful; no beds at a hospital, no extensions to a library, no fountain even, just a memorial. They did not want, they said, to give a present to themselves.' (p. 233) - funded by | financé par
