Summary
| Description |
English: Norman Cross Napoleonic Monument A replacement Imperial Eagle crowns the monument toppled in 1990 and the eagle stolen when it stood by Norman Cross roundabout, a few metres to the west on the Great North Road.
Between 1793 and 1814 more than 30,000 French prisoners of war were incarcerated in the camp that stood in the adjacent field. On 28th July 1914, exactly 100 years after the closure of the camp, the original monument was erected as a memorial to the 1,770 men who died there. The replacement bronze eagle by sculptor John Doubleday was placed atop the re-sited column and re-dedicated by the 8th Duke of Wellington on 2nd April 2005. |
