This is to be found at Fort Amherst. The head is about ten feet high and is supposed to be the same height as the one on Nelson's Column. Fort Amherst, high above Chatham, was constructed in 1756 to protect the southeastern approaches to Chatham Dockyard and the River Medway against a French invasion. Fort Amherst is Britain’s largest and best-preserved Napoleonic Fort. Fort Amherst is now managed and operated by the Fort Amherst Heritage Trust, a Registered Charity, which opens the fort to visitors every day of the year with free access.
