{On the front of the plinth:}
Winston S. Churchill
{On the back of the statue base:}

Site: Churchill statue - Woodford Green (1 memorial)

Churchill was MP for Woodford 1945 - 1964 which explains the location of this statue. We thank Jamie Davis for finding this link to the British Pathe news film of the unveiling which shows the elderly Churchill arriving.
