Statue of Edward VI, Grade II listed statue at St Thomas' Hospital, London, England
The marble statue depicts King Edward VI in Tudor attire, holding a scepter and the hospital's re-establishment charter on a modern plinth.
Thomas Cartwright carved this Purbeck marble statue in 1682 during the reconstruction of St Thomas' Hospital led by Sir Robert Clayton.
The statue represents Edward VI's role in re-founding St Thomas' Hospital in 1551 after its closure during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The statue stands at the north entrance of the North Wing on Lambeth Palace Road, accessible to visitors during hospital opening hours.
This statue was originally flanked by sculptures of disabled figures, which were moved to the Science Museum in 2019.
