The Statue of Alfred the Great is located in the centre of Winchester, England. It was commissioned in 1899 as part of the celebrations of the millennium since the death of Alfred the Great, the Saxon monarch considered one of the founders of England.[1] Designed by the Royal Academician Hamo Thornycroft, it was completed in 1901.[2]
It is located on The Broadway, a continuation of the High Street which runs through the centre of the city. It is close to the roundabout linking with Eastgate Street and Bridge Street across the River Itchen. Winchester Guildhall is located nearby. The statue has been Grade II listed since 1950.[3]
