Description

The lead cherub ornament in Temple Gardens at Cholmondeley Park is a Grade II listed garden ornament, likely created in 1695 by the sculptor Jan Van Nost. This cast lead piece features three winged cherubs facing outward, each supporting a basket overflowing with flowers. A continuous garland of flowers encircles the cherubs, with each figure positioned differently. They stand on a built-up base made of natural stone slabs, which caps a short stone pillar adorned with recessed panels. This ornament, along with a damaged companion piece on an altered base, is believed to be the lead "flower potts" mentioned by Gervase Jackson-Stops in his article "Cholmondeley Castle" published in Country Life on July 19, 1973.
