William Of Occam
A Memory of Ockham.
My memory relates to 1977 because it was then that I first heard of William of Occam (from Ockham early 14th Century). I would think he should be the village's most famous son. It seems sad that there appears to be no memorial to him there. Although a Franciscan friar, he was also in trouble with the Papal Court for heresy, so perhaps Henry VIII would have had some sympathy for him. Occam's Razor is a major philosophical contribution to modern scientific thought. "Occam's Razor" is the title of a regular Australian Broadcasting Commission presentation popular current topics.
