Description

This is a memorial bust of Sir Jesse Boot, also known as Lord Trent, located at the entrance to the boating lake in Nottingham. Dated 1934, the bust was created by CLJ Doman in memory of Sir Jesse Boot. It is a life-size bronze bust mounted on a tapered square ashlar pedestal that features a plinth and cornice, all resting on a square base. Sir Jesse Boot, who was made a Lord in 1928, was a prominent industrialist and public benefactor in Nottingham, known for his work in the manufacture and retail of patent medicines. This bust is part of the architectural scheme of a public park that was developed between 1921 and 1928 by Sir Jesse Boot.
