This statue of King Henry VII stands over the amazing wooden doors at the Great West entrance to Bath Abbey. Why this particular King? Because Bishop Oliver King (who had the dream to rebuild the church in 1499) served as the King's Secretary, that's why! See: (

Of course, the King's statue is erected over his Royal Coat of Arms, surmounted with his crown and supported by a greyhound and a dragon.
Henry VII was the first King of the House of Tudor. Originally from the House of Lancaster, he defeated King Richard III (of the House of York) at the Battle of Bosworth Field.
