English: A statue of en:King Alfred the Great in Trinity Church Square, Southwark Considered to be the oldest outdoor statue in London has been found to date to Roman times. The sculpture was thought medieval until 2021 conservation work. The lower half was then discovered to be Bath Stone and part of a colossal ancient sculpture dedicated to the goddess Minerva. It is typical of the 2nd Century, dating to around the reign of Hadrian. The older half is likely to have been carved by a continental craftsman used to working with British stone.
