Inhaltsangabe

Discussing the significance of monuments as part of the national heritage, this book offers an illustrated guide to the statues, medallions, obelisks, columns, pillars, belvederes and other monuments of England and Wales. It examines the variety of subject matter immortalized in bronze and stone - royalty, war heroes, industrial pioneers, poets, even much-loved animals - and sets out to reveal the history behind these tributes to the past and gifts to posterity. Each of the six regional chapters has a gazetteer incorporating significant monuments in the cities, towns and villages of the region. In every case biographical and anecdotal details of the subject are given, together with the name of the sculptor, a description of the setting and observations on the monument's artistic merit and its present state of repair. The author was a co-founder of the Public Monuments Association.
