Description
This garden urn, dating from the mid-18th century, is located 110 meters northwest of Rufford Abbey. It was likely removed from the parapet of the Abbey. The urn is made of ashlar stone and sits on a rendered brick plinth. It features a chamfered square plinth that supports the urn, which has a stepped square base and a ringed octagonal stem. The body of the urn is vase-shaped and octagonal, topped with four scallops that form a crest. It is flanked by single mermaid supporters and is currently broken in two.
