Description
The Buxton Memorial celebrates the abolition of slavery and commemorates the work of the MP Thomas Fowell Buxton.
The monument was first installed on the edge of Parliament Square London in 1865 by Buxton's son, Charles. It was moved to the Victoria Tower Gardens in 1957. The designer was Samuel Sanders Teulon.
Buxton campaigned against slavery in parliament and helped to found the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society to abolish slavery throughout the world.
