Description
The circular pool with lining and statue is located at the center of the garden to the south front of Wortley Hall. It was probably created in the early 19th century for the Wortley Hall estate. The pool is made of ashlar sandstone and features a circular rim with moulded segmental copings at footpath level. At the center, there is a circular pedestal with a torus moulded base, which is topped by a male figure seated on three entwined dolphins, although his arms are now broken. This landscape scheme is attributed to Lady Caroline Creighton, the wife of James Archibald Stuart Wortley.
