These wood carvings commemorate Lord Byron and his wife Annabella Milbanke, who were married at nearby Seaham Hall in 1815. The carvings are by Seaham artist, David Gross and stand outside the Byron Place shopping centre and were unveiled in January 2016. Beyond, the pedestrianised Church Street leads up to St John's Parish Church.
