What about one of the many volunteers,both past and present, that have made Dover a community and not a brand name.

King Henry II I'd say, known as FitzEmpress, or "Son of The Empress".

Alex, the prefix Fitz means illegitimate son of. As in Fitzroy, bastard son of a king. I am descended from an illegitimate son of Henry II.

Admiral Ramsay already has a statue in Dover Howard, probably at the most appropriate location.
William Crundall [of Dover Town Hall fame] would be worth consideration .
