Brit here, and I don't know which statues you mean are being displayed in a garden but yeah you could well be right.

There was famously the statue of Edward Colston, a slave trader, in Bristol. In 2020 the statue was toppled by some protestors. The statue is now in a museum. The people who toppled it were tried in a court for criminal damage, but they were found not guilty by a jury who I guess were sympathetic to the defendants.
