About Lord Holland Memorial
- đ Lord Holland Memorial is a bronze statue dedicated to Henry Richard Vassall-Fox, the 3rd Baron Holland and his contributions to British government and politics.
- đ The statue depicts Lord Holland as a middle-aged man in a suit, seated on a throne-like chair. Some find his posture slightly awkward, while others appreciate the attention to detail.
- đŧ In one hand, Lord Holland holds a cane, while the other rests on the armrest. The overall sculpture was crafted by Watts with casting assistance from Boehm in 1872 and unveiled in 1926.
- đ§ The memorial is placed in the middle of a two-part pond along a path behind HOLLAND House. This serene location adds to the experience of visiting it.
- đŗ Located within Holland Park, one of London’s most beautiful parks, this statue is surrounded by lovely scenery. It serves as an excellent spot for relaxation or sitting down for some tranquility.
- âšī¸ While there is not much else to see directly around the memorial itself, there is an informational plaque nearby that provides some insight into Lord Holland’s life and charitable contributions.
