Queen Victoria
Queen of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837-1901 and Empress of India from 1876-1901. Her reign was the longest of any monarch in British history and came to be known as the Victorian Era.
This statue, erected here by virtue of Belfast city council, once stood at the Royal Jubilee schools in Durham Street, Belfast. The status was then restored by the National Trust and was stored at Rowallane House until now.
The queen is depicted wearing a dress of Nottingham lace, the statue being made of Portland stone, a limestone material. The statue was carved in 1897 for the Queen's diamond jubilee, when she was 78 years old.
The sculptor was John Cassidy, better known for his work in churches and war memorials. John Cassidy was born in Slane, County Meath, but lived most of his life in Manchester. He died in 1939, in Ashton on Mersey.
