Description
The monument to William Barnes is located in the churchyard immediately south of the west tower on High West Street. It was created by sculptor E. Roscoe Mullins and features a stone plinth with a bronze standing figure of Barnes. He was a notable Dorset dialect poet, rector of Winterborne Came, founder of the County Museum, and played a significant role in persuading Isambard Kingdom Brunel to tunnel under Poundbury Camp. This monument, along with Nos 48 to 65A, including the Shire Hall, Holy Trinity Church, the Museum, and St. Peter's Church, forms a cohesive group of significant local landmarks.
