Equestrian statue of Viscount Combermere, Bronze equestrian monument near Chester Castle, England
The equestrian statue of Viscount Combermere features a bronze figure in field marshal uniform mounted on a horse with one foot raised upon a granite pedestal.
Unveiled in October 1865, the statue honors Stapleton Cotton, who served as a cavalry officer under Wellington during the Peninsular War against Napoleon's forces.
Carlo Marochetti created this Grade II* listed statue as the first major open-air public sculpture in Cheshire, marking a shift in regional commemorative practices.
The monument stands 7.1 meters in total height, combining a 3.4-meter bronze figure with a 3.7-meter granite base on Grosvenor Road opposite Chester Castle entrance.
The statue cost £5,000 to create in 1865, with excess funds from public subscriptions directed to local charitable causes in Chester.
