Statue of Oliver Cromwell, Bronze statue in Market Hill, St Ives, England

The bronze and granite monument depicts Oliver Cromwell holding both a sword and a Bible, standing atop three Aberdeen granite steps with decorative lamps.

Frederick W. Pomeroy created this Grade II listed monument in 1901, commemorating Oliver Cromwell who resided in St Ives from 1631 to 1636.

The statue represents Cromwell's dual identity as a military commander and religious figure during the transformation of England's governance system.

Visitors can find the statue in the central Market Hill area, where it stands as the second most photographed structure after the bridge chapel.

This monument remains the only public statue of Oliver Cromwell in England that was entirely funded through public donations.
