Horatio Lord Nelson
Horatio Nelson was born in Norfolk, died at sea, and is buried
in St. Paul's Cathedral - yet Monmouth is home to a magnificent collection of Nelson
material. Find out about the origins of the collection, and about the life, loves,
death and commemoration of the famous admiral through displays of weapons, pictures,
fine ceramics, silver and glass, ships models and letters.
Two visits to the town by the great Admiral obviously left a great impression on
Monmouthians since his death was drunk at their public gatherings for many years
after he died. In the summer of 1802 he gave his approval to the Naval Temple on
the Kymin Hill above the town, and dined in style at the old coaching Inn "The Beaufort"
where he made a patriotic speech and praised the townsfolk for their loyalty to
the King. Monmouth is home to a magnificent collection of Nelson material.
