The Statue of Queen Anne in Minehead, Somerset, England was built in 1719. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]

History

The statue depicts Queen Anne in full court dress.[1] It was designed by Francis Bird, who had previously made a sculpture of the queen for St Paul's Cathedral,[2] after a commission by Sir Jacob Bancks the local member of parliament for Minehead.[3] Statues of the queen were a "fashionable ornament" during her reign.[4]

It was removed from its original site in St Michael's Church during restoration work in 1880. It was to have been placed in the town hall, but following a public subscription for the canopy it was re-erected at its current site in 1893.[5][6]

Architecture

The statue is made of alabaster. The pedestal and canopy which were added by H Dare Bryan in 1893 are of Carrara marble. Above the statue is a dentilled pediment and cornice [1]
