Description

The Statue of William III, dated 1718, is located to the southwest of Building Number 1/87C at HM Naval Base. The statue was sculpted by Van Noss (Lloyd) and is gilt, standing on an ashlar plinth with a concrete podium. The plinth features a moulded base and cornice, with panelled sides and inscriptions that read "Gulielmo III Optimo Regi" and "Ricardus Norton Humilime O.D." The statue depicts William III dressed as a cloaked Roman General, crowned with a laurel wreath and holding a baton. William III ordered a significant expansion of the naval dockyard in 1690. Originally, the statue stood on the parade ground in front of Long Row and later in front of Admiralty House before being moved to its current location.
