Cast in Stone

Welcome

This is a database of statues related to colonialism in Britain and France. It is the output of a collaborative project called Cast in Stone: Statues and Memories of Empire in Post-Imperial France and Britain. The project was conceived of as a pilot, which may be extended in the years to come, in a variety of different ways. Please note that there may be differences between the English and French versions of the website. The pilot stage of the project was completed in 2024 and involved collaborators in France and Britain.
