* A statue of Gladstone by [[Albert Bruce-Joy]], erected in 1882, stands near the front gate of [[Bow Church|St. Marys Church]] in [[Bow, London|Bow]], London.  Paid for by the industrialist Theodore Bryant, it is viewed as a symbol of the later [[London matchgirls strike of 1888|1888 match girls strike]], which took place at the nearby [[Bow Quarter|Bryant & May Match Factory]]. Led by the socialist [[Annie Besant]], hundreds of women working in the factory, where many sickened and died from poisoning from the [[white phosphorus]] used in the matches, went on strike to demand improved working conditions and pay, eventually winning their cause. In recent years, the statue of Gladstone has been repeatedly daubed with red paint, suggesting that it was paid for with the "blood of the match girls".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.moderngent.com/history_of_london/hiddenhistorybow.php|title=London's Hidden History Bow Church|publisher=Modern Gent|access-date=1 March 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203002529/http://www.moderngent.com/history_of_london/hiddenhistorybow.php|archive-date=3 December 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>
