Description

This description is for a pair of urns located on the south terrace walk in the formal garden, approximately 50 meters south of the fountain at Woolley Hall. The urns date from the early to mid-19th century and are made of carved sandstone. Each urn stands on a square plinth with a moulded foot, topped by a bell-shaped urn featuring banded decoration, a tulip design at the base, and a flower head at the top. The cap of each urn displays a gadrooned sun-ray pattern with a central sunken recess.

A plan from 1814 by Watson Pritchet for a lodge and gateway at Woolley Park shows two urns on the gatepiers that are identical to these in the garden. It is possible that these urns were created but not used when the full plan for the lodge was not completed, suggesting they may originate from that project.
