“Erected by his fellow citizens”, reads the inscription on the Samuel Bourne Bevington Statue. This imposing figure, standing tall and proud, is more than just a monument. It’s a testament to a man who dedicated his life to serving his community, the borough of Bermondsey. Samuel Bourne Bevington, born in 1832, wasn’t born into privilege. He rose through the ranks, becoming a Colonel in the Queen’s Royal West Surrey Regiment, even earning a Volunteer Decoration for his service. But his commitment went beyond the military. He was deeply invested in local politics, eventually becoming the very first Mayor of Bermondsey in 1900, a testament to his leadership and dedication. The statue, unveiled in 1911, captures him in his military uniform, a symbol of his multifaceted life. Notice the fine details, the way his posture exudes authority and dignity. This statue, a poignant reminder of Bevington’s legacy, stands as a tribute to a man who truly embodied service and commitment to his community.
