The monument and limestone statue by sculptor Edward Hodges Baily (who had earlier created the statue of Nelson in London’s Trafalgar Square) was erected in 1838 to mark Earl Grey’s tenure as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1830 to 1834, during which he saw the Home Page and the Home Page through Parliament. He is the Earl Grey after whom the tea is named.
