Statue of Charles II on All Saints' Church in Northampton
John Hunt of Northampton (c.1690 – 1754) was an 18th-century sculptor, described as the foremost sculptor in
Northamptonshire.
He was born and raised in Northamptonshire, but was sent to
London around 1710 to train as a sculptor under
Grinling Gibbons.

In 1712, he was created a Freeman Mason of
Northampton for donating a statue of
King Charles II and other decorations on the frontage of
All Saints' Church in that town.

He was found dead in his bed on 25 September 1754.
