Peel Memorial Busts and Statues



The sudden death of Sir Robert Peel in 1850 resulted in many memorials being erected to the great man.  Leading sculptors of the day were employed all over the country.

The following lists are by no means exhaustive and we hope that visitors to our web site can add to it.  We also welcome pictures of the memorials as they are today.  Please contact Nigel Morris if you have any information or pictures you would like to contribute.
