Standing in the centre of Alnwick within a small garden featuring benches and an information board, this monument commemorates the famed medieval knight Sir Henry Percy, widely known as Harry Hotspur. Positioned just a short walk from Alnwick Castle where he was born, the statue honours the historical figure celebrated for his fierce military exploits and immortalised in Shakespeare's Henry IV. The local legend also famously inspired the name of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
