A large stone monument built upon the Iron Age hill fort of
Pen Dinas overlooking
Cardigan Bay and the Welsh town of
Aberystwyth. The monument takes the form of an eighteen metre high upended cannon. It is thought that the column was intended to carry at statue at the top, which was never installed. (1850s)[1][2]
A monumental column and statue in his birthplace in
Trim, County Meath, Ireland (1817)[3]
Equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington, Aldershot, originally at Hyde Park Corner, by
Matthew Cotes Wyatt (1846).[9] In 1838 a proposal to build a statue of Wellington resulted in the building of a giant statue of him on his horse
Copenhagen, placed above the
Wellington Arch at
Constitution Hill in London directly outside
Apsley House, his former London home. Completed in 1846, the enormous scale of the 40 ton, 30 feet (9 m) high monument resulted in its removal in 1883, and the following year it was transported to
Aldershot where it still stands near the Royal Garrison Church.
A statue of Wellington by the sculptor
Thomas Milnes at Woolwich Arsenal, which now stands in Wellington Park (1848)[10]
A statue of Wellington by the sculptor
Carlo Marochetti in
Leeds, England, which now stands in Woodhouse Moor park (1855).[13] His boots have been painted red, presumably by local students.
