In Victoria Park. On the base of the statue is the name Sidney Herbert, with no biographical detail; a search reveals that this was Baron Herbert of Lea, 1810-61, local MP and dignitary. The statue was relocated from near the Guildhall in 1953. http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getfaq.php?id=435
