Captain Godfrey Morgan and Sir Briggs

I've sped past this statue outside the City Hall in my car and never given it much thought, until this project encouraged me to go over and examine it.

The statue remembers one who returned from The Charge of the Light Brigade and his horse Sir Briggs.

Godfrey who became Viscount Lord Tredegar, was of the family that lived in Tredegar House, between Cardiff and Newport, and you can read more about them as a family here.

Another view of the statue - as it must have originally been - imposing the green outside the City Hall is to be found in the Gathering the Jewels Collection.
