The city of Liverpool has a greater number of public sculptures than any other location in the United Kingdom aside from Westminster.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=HistoricBritain.com )〕 Early examples include works by George Frampton, Goscombe John, Thomas Thornycroft, Charles Bell Birch, Richard Westmacott, Francis Chantrey, John Gibson, Thomas Brock and F.W. Pomeroy, while Barbara Hepworth, Jacob Epstein, Mitzi Cunliffe and Elizabeth Frink provide some of the modern offerings. More recently, local artist Tom Murphy has created a dozen sculptures in Liverpool. While statues and sculpture are dotted throughout the inner city, there are four primary groupings: inside and around St George's Hall; in St John's Gardens;〔dubbed "Liverpool's alfresco Valhalla", every statue inside is listed, together with the walls and gatepiers〕 around the Pier Head; and around the Palm House at Sefton Park. Smaller groups are found in Old Hall Street/Exchange Flags and in and around The Oratory. The ''Queen Victoria Monument'' at Derby Square, an ensemble of 26 bronze figures by C. J. Allen, is described in the Liverpool ''Pevsner Architectural Guide'' as one of the most ambitious British monuments to the Queen. NB: the following list does not include the comprehensive collections held by National Museums Liverpool, or the countless ornate features of many Liverpool buildings. ==Royalty== *George III bronze equestrian by Richard Westmacott (1822), at Monument Place, London Road (Grade II) *Queen Victoria bronze equestrian by Thomas Thornycroft (1869), outside St. George's Hall (Grade II) *Queen Victoria bronze by C.
