Statue of Edward VI, Bronze statue at St Thomas' Hospital in London, United Kingdom.
The bronze figure depicts King Edward VI in period dress, standing atop a plinth with an inscription about Charles Toye's financial contribution.
Peter Scheemakers created this statue in 1736, originally placed in the hospital courtyard before its relocation to the North Wing during the 20th century.
The statue represents the connection between royal patronage and healthcare, commemorating Edward VI's re-establishment of St Thomas' Hospital in 1551.
Visitors can find this Grade II* listed monument on the North Wing terrace of St Thomas' Hospital, next to the River Thames.
This bronze statue shares the hospital grounds with another Edward VI sculpture made from Purbeck limestone by Thomas Cartwright in 1682.
