As an ex-Wintonian, having lived within 250 yards of the cathedral close, I have a great affiliation with that area.
Yes, the proposed location for the Jane Austen statue would add an attraction for the author's many admirers, of whom I am one.
The statue itself, however, has among the attributes mentioned by your correspondence, a hint of haughtiness reflecting, perhaps the character of Mr Darcy.
