Statue of Charles Rolls, Bronze memorial statue in Agincourt Square, Monmouth, Wales.
The statue of Charles Rolls stands at 2.4 meters, constructed from bronze and granite, featuring the aviation pioneer in his military uniform.
William Goscombe John created this Grade II* listed monument in 1911 to commemorate Charles Rolls, who died in an aviation accident the previous year.
The statue represents the achievements of Charles Rolls in both automotive engineering and aviation, as he co-founded Rolls-Royce and obtained an early pilot license.
Located at 3-10 Agincourt Square, the memorial provides visitors with interpretive plaques detailing the accomplishments of this transportation innovator.
The granite base, designed by architect Aston Webb, contains inscriptions that document Rolls' record-setting flight across the English Channel.
