1. Jephson Memorial Marker

Inscription. Jephson Memorial was erected in 1849 in honour of Dr Henry Jephson. The surrounding gardens were also named after him. Henry Jephson set up a medical practice in Leamington in 1828. He believed that the local mineral springs had health-giving properties. Dr Jephson had many wealthy patients, including members of the royal family, but he treated the poor free of charge.

The statue was carved by Birmingham sculptor, Peter Hollins, and made from Carrara marble. It was unveiled in May 1849 in the presence of Dr Jephson. Dr Jephson was blind by this time, but continued to play an active role in local affairs. He also supported charitable causes throughout England.

Erected by Warwick District Council.
