Description
Statue by Colin Spofforth depicting Owain Glyndwr on horse back. The life-size statue, depicting Glyndwr on a battle charger rallying people to the Welsh cause around 1400, was unveiled on 13th September 2007. It was originally intended to sit atop an 8-ton granite plinth quarried in China, but this was lost down a ravine during a monsoon during transport to the UK. The present plinth was quarried at Trefor near Pwllheli. The statue replaced an earlier more modernistic statue of Glyndwr standing with his sword.
