Statue of Edmund Burke, Bronze statue in Broad Quay, Bristol, England
The 8-foot-tall bronze statue depicts Edmund Burke in period clothing, holding a three-cornered hat while stepping forward in a contemplative stance.
Created by James Havard Thomas in 1894, this Grade II listed monument commemorates Edmund Burke, who served as Member of Parliament for Bristol from 1774 to 1780.
The statue represents Burke's contributions to political philosophy, including his advocacy for constitutional reform and religious tolerance during the 18th century.
Located in central Bristol's Broad Quay area, the statue features wheelchair accessibility and stands protected under heritage designation regulations.
A second cast of this statue exists in Washington D.C., commissioned by the Sulgrave Institution in 1922 to strengthen British-American relations after World War I.
