William Fawcett

Birthplace

What is recorded here

William Fawcett is a birthplace in Arklow, County Wicklow, Ireland. Perhaps the boy watched ocean weeds drift past the harbour before he named inland plants. Maybe that salt water stayed inside his questions until old age. Imagine him still walking the coastal path, teaching stones to speak in Latin.

Why this person is known: British botanist (1851-1926)
