The town named after a murderer (pn668)

 I wrote earlier about the small town of Maxwell in South Taranaki (pn662) and  am delighted the NZ Listener now (2.1.21) has a editorial on the topic, more circumspect than mine but with more detail, and the very practical suggestion that it's time for a name change.  Neither of us mentioned the statue of Sergeant George Maxwell that stands in Wanganui. Perhaps it is also time for its removal.  Click on the editorial to enlarge. -- ACW   See also
