loyalist sculpture and material objects

I'm now on a mission to find as many surviving loyalist sculptures, memorials, and other material objects as I can find for the period 1780-1832. http://www.flickr.com/photos/43394061@N02/sets/72157626577249748/ The first are from Manchester Cathedral - the memorial to the Grand Orange Lodge Grand Master Samuel Taylor, and the statue of Thomas Fleming, a Tory who weeded out radicals and Whig-liberals from Manchester local government. Any information on more like these is most appreciated.
