Description
The Cavendish Monument and attached railings, dated 1849 and restored in 1979 and 1990, are located in Mansfield and were designed by T.C. Hine to honor George Frederick Cavendish Bentinck. The monument is constructed of ashlar in the Gothic Revival style. It features a square base with three steps and chamfered corners, topped by a renewed iron railing with spiked corner posts. The canted square pedestal has a plinth and an inscription, with corner pedestals each displaying a seated lion that carries a gilt metal banner. The monument is crowned with a square canopy that has gabled angle buttresses and a panelled base adorned with shields. Each side of the canopy includes a cusped arch with a hoodmould beneath a crocketed gable. Above this, there is an elaborate crocketed spire with a finial and a single tier of traceried gabled lucarnes.
