What is recorded here

Public park, c.1925, on site of bull ring, 1712, with sections of iron railings to perimeter of site on unpainted rendered, ruled and lined plinth having cast-iron colonette piers with moulding capping, and iron gate. (ii) Freestanding statue, erected 1954, comprising inscribed limestone ashlar tapered plinth on stepped base with cut-limestone capping supporting carved statue.

An attractive park forming an appealing feature in the townscape while enhancing the setting value of the nearby Saint Mary's Catholic Cathedral (12005002/KK-4766-08-02). Having origins in an early eighteenth-century bull ring the park continues to serve an important role as a public amenity. Early iron work to the perimeter enhances the design value of the park while a statue erected to commemorate the Marian Year (1954) further contributes to the artistic importance of the site.
