Description
The Statue of Queen Victoria, located in Royal Leamington Spa, was created between 1901 and 1902 by sculptor Albert Toft. This statue, made of Sicilian marble and standing approximately 3 metres high, is positioned on a red Aberdeen granite pedestal that is about 4 metres high. The statue depicts Queen Victoria holding an orb and sceptre.
The plinth is signed by the sculptor, Albert Toft, and features an inscription on the front that reads: "Victoria Queen Empress 1837-1901 She wrought her people lasting good," which is a quotation from Alfred Lord Tennyson. On the back of the pedestal, it states: "Erected by the people of Leamington October 11th 1902 William Davis Mayor." Additionally, a plaque on the side of the pedestal notes that a German bomb moved the statue one inch on its plinth on November 14th, 1940. The statue was commissioned at a cost of £1,500.
