A statue of Prince Hal (Henry V) and William Shakespeare on the apex of the Gower Monument, Bancroft Gardens, Stratford Upon Avon, England


The monument was constructed in Paris between 1876-1888 by Lord Ronald Gower and various associates and craftsman. It was unveiled at a ceremony attended by Oscar Wilde on 10 October 1888, at its original location in gardens to south of the Memorial Theatre. The monument was moved to its current location in 1933 following the rebuilding of the theatre after the devastating fire of 1926.
