Memorial to George Stevens
Situated in Old Road, Southam, this memorial is to the most successful jockey in the Grand National with five wins. The monument is incorrect in so far as George rode his last winner, 'The Colonel' in the 1870 race. He died three months after finishing sixth in the 1871 race.

Memorial to George Stevens
This memorial to Jockey, George Stevens, is easy to miss being almost hidden in the hedge. The inscription reads:
'In Memory of
George Stevens
The rider of winners
of five Grand National
Steeplechases who, after
riding for twenty years
with no serious accident
was killed by a fall
from his hack only three
months after riding
'The Colonel' in the
Grand National of 1871'
In 1863 and 1864 he won the Grand National riding respective horses 'Emblem' and 'Emblematic' both owned by the 9th Earl of Coventry of Croome Court. George's nearby cottage was named 'Emblem Cottage' Image
It's curious, the inscription appears to be wrong, his last Grand National winner was in 1870 and more than a year before his accidental death.

Southam Water Spout
Supplying clean spring water from the Cotswolds in the early Victorian years. The plaque inside informs us that it was in need of restoration after only 40 years. A further 120 years on, it is now dry.
