Leicester’s Victorian War Memorials by Robin Jenkins

Book now

Leicester has some significant Victorian war memorials – but the story of their creation is a curious one indeed.

Leicester’s commemoration of Queen Victoria’s wars has some significant gaps and was by no means as straightforward a story as you might think.

We shall explore the grand schemes and tortuous routes, the personalities and peculiarities which led to Leicester’s Victorian War Memorials.

This talk is part of the exhibition Portraits of Valour: The Soldiers Who Came to the Guildhall.
