'The Windsor Lady' statue

A statue of Her Majesty The Queen has been installed into Bachelors Acre as part of the Diamond Jubilee Year celebrations.

The elegant statue entitled 'The Windsor Lady' was sculpted by local artist Lydia Karpinska and shows the sovereign in an informal pose seated with six dogs.

The statue and installation was privately funded and is awaiting further sponsorship and donations.

History

The Acre dates back to the Middle Ages and was the place where ordinary townsfolk would meet where markets and fairs were permitted in Windsor by its Charters. Until 1855 the Acre was the site for the famous Annual Revel that was held on the birthday of the Sovereign.

Bachelors Acre includes part of the original Acre Grave Yard, which is located alongside Madeira Walk and where some of the memorial stones are still legible today.

The area was refurbished in 1998 and a water feature which has jets of water rising at different times and heights was introduced.
