Frederick William Pomeroy (1856-1924) was a prolific British sculptor of architectural and monumental works. Pomeroy had several significant public works in London and elsewhere in the United Kingdom, notably at Belfast City Hall where he was responsible for the relief work in the pediment and several statues in the grounds. His work in London includes the figure of Lady Justice on the dome of the Old Bailey. He was also responsible for other War Memorials in Northern Ireland – including those at Coleraine and Larne.
