Herbert Hampton

Herbert Hampton (1862 – 11 February 1929) was an English sculptor, artist, and creator of public memorials, who was active between 1888 and 1927.

Hampton was born at Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, and died in Great Bardfield, Essex in 1929. After education at Bishop's Stortford College, he studied art at the Cardiff School of Art, the Lambeth, the Westminster, the Slade and then the Académies Julian and Colarossi in Paris. His legacy was a collection of public memorials across the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

The Queen Victoria Monument in Lancaster, displays a sculpture of the queen guarded by four monumental lions, beneath them are four allegories to freedom, wisdom, truth and justice complete with a generous collection of putti; and four bas-relief friezes of fifty-three eminent Victorians, two of whom were women.
