Description
The Fitzclarence Monument is a memorial located on Pembroke Road in Portsmouth, built in 1852 by architects J Truefitt and WB Davis. It is made of Portland stone and features a tapering octagonal column that stands on a multi-stepped base. The monument is topped with a Gothic crowning feature, which includes an octagonal capital adorned with ogee crocketed tracery on the underside, and a finial with traceried panels and crockets, ending in a broken weather vane. The monument was erected in memory of Lieutenant-General Fitzclarence, who died in 1852. An inscription on the monument reads: "To Lieutenant-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, G.C.H., this column was erected by the inhabitants of Portsmouth to mark their sense of the many services rendered to the Borough during his command of this garrison, 1852."
