The Viking longboat commemorates Olaf Trygvason, who was baptised in Andover in the year 994 and later became King of Norway.
It has been by the River Anton next to the Methodist Church for some time but has been refurbished recently.
See SU3645 : Andover - Sculpture for how it looked 15 years ago, plus a bit more on the story.
