Description

The Wellington Monument, located on Claycart Road in Aldershot, features a bronze equestrian statue created in 1846 by Matthew Coates Wyatt. Originally, this statue was placed atop Decimus Burton's triumphal arch at Hyde Park Corner in London but was moved to its current location in 1885. The statue depicts the Duke of Wellington seated on a standing horse, with his right arm extended and holding a baton. The horse's head is positioned forward. The monument stands on a rectangular stone base with a simple plinth moulding and a wider white stone platform at ground level. Surrounding the monument are 16 guns arranged vertically in an oval shape, with metal caps on the exposed muzzles to which a continuous chain is attached.
