Statue of John Cartwright
United Kingdom
The Statue of John Cartwright is a bronze statue created in 1831 of political reformer John Cartwright. Cartwright is considered the "Father of Reform" for his work on implementing universal suffrage, annual parliamentary sessions, voting by mail, and equal representation from constituencies. He served in the Royal Navy until the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War due to his support for self-determination of the Thirteen Colonies. For decades Cartwright sought changes in Parliament and also advocated for the abolition of slavery. Several years after his death, the statue by George Clarke was installed, near Cartwright's former residence on Burton Crescent (later renamed Cartwright Gardens in his honour), London. The statue was listed in 1974.
