Statue of Queen Victoria, Bronze monument in Greenhill, Weymouth, England.
The Statue of Queen Victoria is a bronze monument on a Portland stone base near St John's Church in Weymouth, depicting the monarch in formal ceremonial dress. The work stands at the northern edge of town and forms part of the civic landscape with its solid presence.
This monument was created by George Blackall Simonds in 1902 following the end of Queen Victoria's 64-year reign. The unveiling that same year marked an important moment in the town's public life and commemorative practices.
The statue reflects how British towns honored their monarch during the Victorian age and remains part of the town's public identity today. It stands as a reminder of the way communities expressed loyalty through civic monuments.
The monument stands in the northern part of Weymouth and is easily reached from the town center on foot. Being located on public streets, it is freely accessible at any time of day.
The statue was funded through a community fundraising campaign led by the local mayor, showing how townspeople contributed to its creation. The unveiling ceremony was a major public celebration in 1902.
