Sidney Herbert
Sidney Herbert stands in London’s City of Westminster as a bronze statue on a granite plinth. The standing figure wears nineteenth-century clothing, with detailed folds and carefully modelled facial features.
John Henry Foley created the sculpture to portray Sidney Herbert, the first Baron Herbert of Lea. Herbert served as Secretary at War during the Crimean War. He also worked with Florence Nightingale to improve conditions for soldiers.
The monument originally stood in Pall Mall before moving to Westminster. Its Grade II listing recognises its historical and architectural significance, while wheelchair access makes the setting easier to experience.
