Throughout this period Manchester was regarded as a Roundhead Parliamentary stronghold. Interestingly, this parliamentarian ethic still survived until the 19th century, when, controversially, in 1875, Matthew Noble's statue of Cromwell was erected by local liberal politicians outside the cathedral, facing the Exchange Railway Station (demolished in the 1980s - now a car park!). The realistic likeness, showing Cromwell in battledress with drawn sword and leather body armour, (based on Lely's famous painting) with its "pimples, warts and everything", dismayed local conservatives and outraged the large Irish immigrant population of the city (Cromwell had tyrannically put down Irish uprisings). This statue stood outside the cathedral until it was moved in the 1980s as part of extensive inner city redevelopment, and is relocated outside Wythenshawe Hall in Wythenshawe Park, which had been used as a billet for Roundhead troops.

Why does king Richard have a statue?
The statue was created by Baron Carlo Marochetti and is located in Old Palace Yard outside the Palace of Westminster, opposite Westminster Abbey in London. Marochetti had a reputation for creating equestrian statues, having created a statue of the Duke of Wellington for display in Glasgow in 1840. It is essentially a work of art rather than a celebration of Richard's greatness. The artist had shown a clay model of the statue at the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park and money was later raised by private donations to produce a bronze statue.
Was the Statue of Liberty named after the goddess Columbia?
The short answer is no, but in a way yes. First, to clear up a few things that are common misconceptions. There is no statue named the Statue of Liberty. There is a National Park, located in NY Harbor, named The Statue of Liberty National Monument and Park, and at that site resides a statue titled Liberty Enlightening the World. Also, there is no historical goddess named Columbia. Columbia was/is the personification, or poetic depiction, of America and was sometimes referred to as, a goddess of freedom and liberty as American values. Columbia is also commonly considered to be a depiction of the Roman Goddess Libertas as America, and served as the inspiration for, and is the form depicted in, Thomas Crawford's Statue of Freedom that adorns the top of the dome of the U.S. Capitol Building in the District of Columbia Which brings us back to the original question you asked. The statue of Liberty Enlightening the World was named in reference to, and as an embodiment of, the ideals of Libertas. However, the idea of a statue being in the form of a woman, and as a symbol of American freedom, was largely inspired by the Statue of Freedom, a depiction of Columbia, and of the symbolism of Columbia, which was a very prominent national symbol of the day and itself an embodiment of Libertas.
