More about this scene
Though no longer in the Market Place, this fine monument to Lieutenant-Colonel Edgar Mobbs was once a famous landmark in Northampton. Mobbs was a noted Midlands sportsman; having enlisted as a private during the First World War, he rose through the ranks to command his battalion. As well as bearing his bust, the monument also depicts football and battle scenes. Crowning the pedestal is a bronze figure carrying a torch and wreath in memory of Mobbs.
