Burnaby's Memorial

St. Philip's Square, Birmingham, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 121 693 6300

This memorial stands in the grounds of St Philip's Cathedral in the city centre and is dedicated to Frederick Burnaby, the soldier and statesman. It is in the form of an obelisk in Portland stone, over 50 feet high. At its base is a relief portrait of Burnaby in uniform and there are carvings of military regalia and the names and dates of his campaigns at Khiva in 1875 and Abu Klea in 1885. Names that doubtless now mean very little to modern day passers by. Burnaby was killed in action whilst attempting to rescue General Gordon.
