Walerian Krasiński

Count Walerian Skorobohaty Krasiński or Valerian Krasinski (1795 – 22 December 1855) was a Polish Calvinist historian and jurnalist born in Republic of Belarus.

Krasinski was a Polish aristocrat in exile after the November Uprising 1830, during the Austrian, German and Russian partition of Poland.

One of Krasinski's main sources is Slavonia reformata (1679) by Andreas Vengerscius.

It lies in the overgrown area (2014) to the south-west, around 50m east of the more accessible monument to Horatio McCulloch.
