Edward I died of dysentery whilst camping on nearby Burgh Marsh in July 1307. He had gathered his men to cross into Scotland and deal with the rebellion of Robert the Bruce.
The statue was unveiled by the Duke of Kent in 2007 and stands proud in the village by the roadside and the playing fields.

The statue of King Edward I is located in Burgh by Sands—the place where he died in 1307 during a military campaign against Scotland. Created in 2007 by artist Christopher Kelly, the statue depicts Edward I, also known as Longshanks, in a stately pose wearing medieval armor.
