A statue of the young Queen Victoria stands under a decorative canopy. She is elegantly poised and dressed in a light shirt, long drapes, a cloak with tassels and a pearl necklace. She wears a crown and holds a sceptre in her left hand and a wreath in her right. The canopy by Blandford has four granite pillars with carved capitals, and supports four standing, long-winged angels. There are decorative cast iron lamps at each corner and a crocketed spire with a cross on top. The whole is set on a base of reddish sandstone and white limestone in which the niches of the drinking fountain are embedded, on two sides. Alexander Randall, who commissioned the sculpture and gifted it to the town, was the High Sheriff of Kent.
