The
equestrian statue of Thomas Munro , 1st Baronet, Major-General in the British
Army and Governor of Madras from 1820 to 1827, is a major landmark in Chennai city on the
arterial Mount Road. The bronze statue was sculpted by Francis Chantrey in the United
Kingdom in 1834 and shipped to Madras in 1839
