Nelsons Monument Yarmouth Gifts & Homewares
The Norfolk Naval Pillar, often called Nelson's Monument, is a striking tribute to Admiral Lord Nelson in Great Yarmouth. Built in 1819, this 144-foot column predates London's more famous Nelson's Column.
Perched at the top is a statue of Britannia, holding an olive branch and trident, symbolising peace and naval power. The column's Doric design and six caryatid figures add a touch of grandeur, while the globe inscribed with Nelson's motto, Palmam Qui Meruit Ferat ("Let him who has merited it take the palm"), is a nod to his heroic legacy.
Rumour has it sailors used the monument as a navigational aid long before GPS!
Standing majestic against the endless blue is a masterpiece of classical design. Topped with six caryatid figures and the commanding figure of Britannia on a globe, this close-up celebrates its intricate details and Nelson’s enduring motto: Palmam Qui Meruit Ferat ("Let him who has merited it take the palm"). It’s a piece of history that's both grand and inspiring.
Celebrate Nelson's legacy with a wall art print or blank notelet/greeting card to treasure forever!
