Albert Memorial
Historic Sites & Monuments
|
One of the great sculptural achievements of the victorian era, and for sheer scale, opulance and complexity is hard to match.
An elaborate national memorial by George Gilbert Scott to commemorate the Prince Consort. Finally completed in 1876, the figure of the Consort sits on a pyramid of 868 brick aches and has above it a lofty Gothic canopy supported by granite columns. The memorial is undergoing extensive conservation by English Heritage, explained in an exhibition and video in the Visitor Centre. "English Heritage Photographic Library"
