Description

NEWTON-ON-THE-MOOR NEWTON HALL NU 10 SE 6/190 Pair of stone lions south- west of Hall

GV II

Stone lions, of uncertain date; moved to present position late C19. In upright sitting position, c.1.2 metres high. Possibly of oriental origin. Included for group value.

Historical note: A marble tablet to Samuel Edward Widdrington d.1856 in Shilbottle Church bears an inscription stating "this stone formed part of the Court of Lions in the Moorish palace of the Alhambra, (Granada, Spain) whence it was brought in 1829". This suggests a provenance for the stone lions.
