Nelson's Column is a monument in Trafalgar Square in central London built to commemorate the death of Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The monument was constructed between 1840 and 1843 to a design by William Railton at a cost of £47,000. The sandstone statue of Nelson is by E. H. Baily and the four bronze lions on the base, added in 1867, were designed by Sir Edwin Landseer. The column itself is built of granite from Dartmoor. (From Wikipedia) Nelson is revered as the nations' greatest naval war hero, and the column is the most well known monument dedicated to him.
