Description:Gower donated his memorial to the town of Stratford-upon-Avon. The monument was moved to its present site on the Bancroft Gardens with the building of the existing Royal Shakespeare Theatre in 1933.

Designed by Lord Ronald Sutherland Gower (1845-1916). Made c. 1888. Location: Bancroft Gardens, Waterside, Stratford-upon-Avon
