Aphra unveiled in Canterbury
Queen Camilla unveiled a bronze statue of pioneering 17th-century author and spy Aphra Behn in Canterbury on February 25, 2025, located outside The Beaney House of Art and Knowledge.
Created by sculptor Christine Charlesworth, the life-size statue depicts the Canterbury-born playwright as a young woman walking, symbolizing her journey to London to become the first Englishwoman to earn a living by writing.
