Monument of Sir Francis Bacon, St Michael's Church, St Albans, Hertfordshire, 1806. English philosopher, scientist and statesman Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) served as Attorney General before being appointed Lord Chancellor in 1618. His political career ended in disgrace in 1621 when he pleaded guilty to charges of corruption. In science he advocated observation and experiment as a method of enquiry rather than Aristotelian deductive logic.
