The 'Bringer of Peace', Friary Park

Grade II listed, 'Circa 1910. Statue of Peace erected to the memory of Edward VII by Sidney Simmons JP. Dedicated on 7 May 1910, the day following the King's death.' Which is a bit odd. Was it going to be dedicated to the king before he died anyway, or was it originally not intended to be dedicated to him?
