There is a statue of Maharaja Duleep Singh on Butten Island in Thetford. I have never heard of him, so who is he? Why is there a Sikh statue in Thetford? He was the last Sikh ruler, removed by the British and exiled to Britain in 1854. Where did he live on the Norfolk/Suffolk border? Which member of the royal family was he a firm favourite of? What was the Koh-i-Noor diamond and where does it reside today? Sikh pilgrims visit the statue every year. To find out more please select the following links:
