Description

Watt's Monument is a commemorative structure erected in 1861, designed by Richard Cockle Lucas. It honors Isaac Watts, the hymn writer who lived from 1674 to 1748. The monument features a tall grey marble plinth set on a stepped base. Atop the plinth is a life-sized statue of Watts, depicted with outstretched arms and dressed in 18th-century costume, made of white marble. The plinth includes four inset white marble tablets; three of these illustrate scenes from Watts' life, while the fourth bears an inscription.
