The Shakespeare Memorial – by Lord Ronald Gower

1888 / Bronze and stone

Location: Bancroft Gardens, Stratford-upon-Avon

At each corner of the Memorial, the sculptor has placed a representative Shakespearean character: “Hamlet, Prince Hal, Lady Macbeth and Falstaff. These characters were intended to be emblematic of Shakespeare’s creative versatility: representing Philosophy, Tragedy, History, and Comedy”.
