to cannon which formerly stood on this plinth. Corner finials
connected by spiked bars, long overthrow with 'VR' monogram
and laurel leaves twined around arch and surmounting lamp. A
very rare and notable monument to the Crimean War.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the cannon, taken at Sebastopol, was handed

for armaments. The Promenade was laid out as a tree-lined
drive from the Colonnade on the High Street to the Sherborne
Spa (on the site of the Queen's Hotel (qv)).
