- The equestrian statue of Edward Horner stands inside St Andrew's Church in the village of Mells in Somerset, south-western England. It was designed by the architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, as a memorial to Edward Horner, who died of wounds in the First World War. The sculpture was executed by Sir Alfred Munnings. Edward Horner was the only surviving son and heir of Sir John and Lady Frances Horner of Mells Manor and a member of an extended upper-class social group known as the Coterie, many of whom were killed in the war. The group included Diana Manners who Edward pursued unsuccessfully for several years, his future brother-in-law - Raymond Asquith Julian Grenfell, Patrick Shaw-Stewart and Charles Lister. Shortly after the war broke out, he was a yeomanry officer in the part-time Territorial Force but he was keen to join the fighting on the Western Front and obtained a transfer to a cavalry regiment through his family's connections. He was wounded in May 1915 and did not return to the war until early 1917. He was assigned a staff post but again secured a transfer to the front line. Shortly after his return to the fighting, on 21 November 1917, he was wounded again; he died the same day. Lutyens was a friend of the Horner family, having designed multiple buildings and structures for them since the beginning of the 20th century. As well as Horner's memorial, he designed a memorial to Raymond Asquith (also in St Andrew's Church), and Mells War Memorial in the centre of the village. For Horner's memorial, Lutyens designed the plinth himself, and engaged the renowned equestrian painter and war artist Alfred Munnings for the latter's first public work of sculpture. The plinth is in Portland stone and set into it is Horner's original grave marker; the family's coat of arms is carved into the front, while the sides bear various dedicatory inscriptions. The statue is a bronze of a cavalry officer on horseback, bare-headed, with his helmet and sword on the horse's saddle. Lutyens was known for abstract and ecumenical themes in his war memorial designs, but the statue of Horner is an example of his use of more conventional imagery to commemorate an individual. Installed in the Horner family chapel in St Andrew's Church in 1920 at a cost of £1,000, it was moved to its present location in the church in 2007. (en)
- La estatua ecuestre de Edward Horner se encuentra dentro de la en el pueblo de Mells en Somerset, en el suroeste de Inglaterra. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto Sir Edwin Lutyens, como un monumento a Edward Horner, quien murió de heridas en la Primera Guerra Mundial. La escultura fue realizada por . Edward Horner era el único hijo sobreviviente y heredero de Sir John y Lady Frances Horner de Mells Manor y miembro de un extenso grupo social de clase alta conocido como Coterie, muchos de los cuales murieron en la guerra; el grupo incluía a su prometida y su futuro cuñado. Poco después de que estallara la guerra, era un oficial de la Fuerza Territorial a tiempo parcial, pero estaba ansioso por unirse a la lucha en el Frente Occidental y obtuvo un traslado a un regimiento de caballería a través de las conexiones de su familia. Fue herido en mayo de 1915 y no regresó a la guerra hasta principios de 1917. Se le asignó un puesto de personal, pero nuevamente consiguió un traslado al frente del frente de combate. El 21 de noviembre de 2017 fue herido nuevamente y murió ese mismo día. Lutyens era amigo de la familia Horner, habiendo diseñado múltiples edificios y estructuras para ellos desde principios del siglo XX. Además del monumento a Horner, diseñó un monumento a Raymond Asquith (también en la iglesia de San Andrés) y el monumento a la guerra de Mells en el centro del pueblo. Para el monumento a Horner, Lutyens diseñó el pedestal él mismo y contrató al renombrado pintor ecuestre y artista de guerra Alfred Munnings para que realice su primera escultura pública. El pedestal es de piedra de Portland y en él se encuentra la lápida original de Horner. El escudo de armas de la familia está tallado en el frente, mientras que los lados llevan varias inscripciones dedicatorias. La estatua es un bronce de un oficial de caballería a caballo, con la cabeza descubierta, con su casco y espada en la silla del caballo. Lutyens era conocido por temas abstractos y ecuménicos en sus diseños de monumentos de guerra, pero la estatua de Horner es un ejemplo de su uso de imágenes más convencionales para conmemorar a un individuo. Instalado en la capilla de la familia Horner en un lateral de la iglesia de San Andrés en 1920 a un costo de £ 1 000, se lo cambió de ubicación en 2007. (es)
