Sir Edward Elgar
A modestly larger than life statue of one of the country's foremost composers, located in a prominent position on the city square, facing Worcester Cathedral, with which he had long and close connections. There is a brass plaque in the pavement in front of the statue, detailing his career and local connections. Inside the cathedral, there is a memorial window to him, based on scenes in The Dream of Gerontius, one of his most famous works.

Often adorned with a cone for a hat or covered in bird excrement, all in Worcester know the Elgar statue. Meeting place for youths, stopping place for buses and a myriad of other things I'm sure. Used to get free WiFi from the Christian bookshop nearby as well but it closed down.

Lovely statue of Elgar opposite the cathedral at the start of the high street. Downside is the amount of youth skateboarding around and off it. Trying to get a photo was a challenge without being bumped into.

Love this statue. I remember it's unveiling by Prince Charles. He somehow keeps his dignified air despite the pigeon poop!
