Statue of William III, Grade II listed marble statue in Brixham, England.
The Statue of William III is a white marble monument set on a granite pedestal in Brixham, showing the Dutch prince in a commanding stance. The sculpture stands near the harbor and serves as a focal point in the lower part of town.
The monument marks the arrival of William of Orange and his forces at Brixham on November 5, 1688, a turning point in English political history. This landing initiated the period that established constitutional monarchy in the country.
The bilingual inscriptions on the base, written in English and Dutch, reflect the shared connection between these two nations. This dual-language feature makes the monument a point of meeting between two cultures at a specific moment in time.
The monument is located at The Strand in Lower Brixham and works well as a reference point when exploring the harbor district. It is freely accessible and can be visited at any time from the street.
The statue's missing nose resulted from stones thrown at it by local youth in past decades. This damage tells a story of vandalism that has permanently marked this monument.
