BUSCOT Thames Head Statue, St John's Lock

II

Statue. 1854 by Raffaelle Monti, modelled for the Crystal Palace in cement and signed 'R Monti' on the base. A semi-reclining figure of the river god with symbolic objects. He holds a shovel which represents the work of the navvies (navigators) and at his feet are bales and a barrel to symbolise the river's contribution to commerce. The statue was originally sited at the headwaters of the Thames in Trewsbury Mead, near Coates, Gloucester until moved to its present site on the lockside in 1974.
