—————————————-

This free-standing equestrian statue is placed in the centre of a slight circular mound, paved with granite setts. The bare-headed horseman is without stirrups, bridle or saddle and he gazes towards St John’s Gate at the bottom of Broad Street. This fine archway is Bristol’s only surviving medieval gateway, and the statue is carefully aligned to suggest that the traveller is about to enter the city.
