Description

This pair of curved benches, located on either side of the Grand Basin in Melbourne Hall Gardens, dates from the early 18th century but has undergone significant restoration. They were created as part of a French-style garden designed by the Royal Gardeners to Queen Anne, specifically London and Wise, for Thomas Coke of Melbourne Hall. The benches feature seven narrow shaped legs with moulded bases and a plain segmental curved slab stone seat on top, complemented by moulded nosings. They are included in the Derbyshire Historic Gardens Register at Grade I.
