Description
The Statue of Justice, located in the courtyard of Sir William Turner's Hospital, dates from around 1720 and is likely the work of James Gibbs. This lead statue stands on a base made of Portland stone and a pedestal of sandstone. The lifesize figure represents Justice, holding a sword with a renewed blade and renewed scales, and is positioned on a plain base with a panelled dado. The statue was probably created for Canon Edgeware in London between 1716 and 1720 by Gibbs for James Brydges, the first Duke of Chandos, whose estate was demolished in 1747. Several items from the sale of Canons were later incorporated into Sir William Turner's Hospital.
