Neptune Statue

The original Neptune statue was placed in the Serpentine Lake in June 1758 by John Burdon, it was in position until around 1945 when it disappeared. Photos show it to be the same design as the 1729 Neptune in Durham Market Square which was sculpted by Andrew Carpenter. This replacement sculpted by Keith Maddison was unveiled by John Grundy on 14th June 2007.
