Description

The urn at the east end of the Yew Tunnel in Melbourne Hall Gardens dates from 1845 and is made of stone. It features a plain pedestal with a moulded base and top, resting on a square plinth, with a cup-shaped urn above. The urn narrows to a thin neck with a wide lip and has straight handles with scrolled tops on either side, along with a small plain lid. The west side of the pedestal is inscribed with 'Myrtle MDCCCXLV'. This urn is a later addition to the early 18th-century gardens designed by Royal Gardeners to Queen Anne, London and Wise, for Thomas Coke of Melbourne Hall, which is listed in the Derbyshire Historic Gardens Register at Grade I.
