A vigorous over-life-sized figure in seventeenth century costume, repositioned from the front of the Corn Exchange to face down Cornhill. The figure has its right arm outstretched and points toward Christ Church Unitarian Chapel in Dampiet Street. It stands on a square base above a corniced granite plinth with recessed square panels to each side. There are lively finely-detailed bronze low-relief scenes to the rear and sides depicting the Admiral's victories at sea and the return of his body to Plymouth Sound in 1657. The base is of granite steps raised on a twentieth century circular brick dais.
