Letter: Plinth plans

Sir: Bearing in mind that St Martin has a string of miracles to his name, I dare say you will receive an irate letter from Dr Dawkins at the Rev Hayes' suggestion that a statue of him be raised on the vacant plinth in Trafalgar Square (letter, 21 December).

May I therefore suggest Martin's successor to the Bishopric of Tours, St Bricius, who told Martin face to face that much of what he said was sheer lunacy.
