• Equestrian statue of Redvers Buller, Exeter
  Equestrian statue of General Sir Redvers Buller and his horse "Biffen", sculpted by Adrian Jones. The statue was commissioned by the Buller Memorial Committee (established in Exeter in October 1901 after Buller's controversial dismissal from the British Army) and was unveiled in the city in 1905. The statue stands at the junction of Hele Road and New North Road, in between Exeter College and Bury Meadow Park. The statue and its plinth make direct references to Buller's colonial career. The inclusion of Buller's horse Biffen and the line on the plinth, "HE SAVED NATAL", are references to Buller's eventual victory at the relief of Ladysmith on March 1st, 1900 during the Second Boer War of 1899-1902. Other inscriptions on the plinth note the locations where Buller was involved in colonial conflicts, including India, China, Canada, Ashanti (Ghana), Sudan and South Africa. The statue of Buller is unusual in that it is a rare case of an equestrian statue depicting a military general located outside of London. Most statues of this type (which typically depicted either a monarch or a military figure) were usually installed in the metropole at the time, and the statue of Stapleton Cotton in Cheshire is probably the closest artistic counterpart to Buller's statue. Jones had considerable experience in sculpting equestrian statues beforehand, producing works such as Duncan's Horses in 1892 and Persimmon in 1895.

• Equestrian statue of the Black Prince
  Although a depiction of Edward, the Black Prince, Historic England describes the equestrian statue as 'almost certainly a tribute to Edward VII'. Though the origins of "The Black Prince" as an appellation for the former Edward are uncertain, the nickname also raises interesting questions about the meanings of blackness in fourteenth century Europe, or indeed how ideas of blackness have been reconfigured in the present.

The statue was finally unveiled in 1736 amidst the peak of Bristol's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade.
