Who was 'the Good Duke'?

Available for over a year

Leicester's first ever statue is on the move, as it's transferred back to it's original position. The bronze sculpture of the fifth Duke of Rutland is moving back to Cheapside from outside the Corn Exchange as part of a multi-million revamp of the city's market. It's a historic piece of artwork dating back to the 1850's, celebrating 'the Good Duke.' Kevin Ncube asked shoppers if they knew who the statue celebrated, before Jo Bostock got the answers from local historian Jo Mungovin.
