Equestrian statue of Charles II of England trampling Cromwell
Equestrian statue of Charles II of England trampling Cromwell, Grade II listed statue in Newby with Mulwith, England
This Carrara marble equestrian statue depicts Charles II in armor riding a horse that steps over a figure representing Oliver Cromwell on the ground.
Originally commissioned around 1672, Sir Robert Vyner acquired the statue and modified the rider's head to represent Charles II instead of Polish commander John III Sobieski.
The statue represents the complex relationship between monarchy and republicanism during the English Civil War through its symbolic representation of power dynamics.
Located approximately 150 meters east of Newby Hall, visitors can access the statue while exploring the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside.
The statue started as a representation of a Polish military victory but was repurposed to symbolize the English monarchy's triumph over Cromwellian forces.
