★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 格德利雕像在電車站這一側，據說地震時有毀壞但已修復。格德利雕像被列入紐西蘭重要歷史作品，也緬懷先人為後世的貢獻。
The Gudley statue is on the side of the tram station and is said to have been destroyed but repaired during the earthquake. The Gudley statue is included in New Zealand's important historical works, and also commemorates the contributions of ancestors to future generations.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Facing the Cathedral at Cathedral Square is the statue of John Robert Godley, the important 19th-century figure who is considered the Founder of Canterbury.
The statue is the work of sculptor Thomas Woolner and was originally installed in 1867. Like many others around the city, it was damaged badly in the 2011 earthquakes. The monument was repaired and reinstalled at the square in 2015.
What you will see is a two-metre tall figure of an middle aged Godley wearing statesman attire. He faces forward with coat folded and held in his left hand while gripping his hat in his right hand. The statue is atop a stone plinth of simple design.
It is a fine statue worth seeing if you enjoy monument viewing during your travels.
