Urn Approximately 15 Metres South Of Tower

This is a Grade II listed urn located approximately 15 meters south of the tower at Oteley, built between 1826 and 1842 for Charles Kynaston Mainwaring. The urn is made of sandstone and features large foliage decorations along with two horned ram's heads on its sides. It has ornamental carving around the rim and plumed feather-like designs on the underside, resting on a carved plinth. The urn stands on a tall red brick base from the mid-20th century, which is not of special architectural interest. Charles Kynaston Mainwaring was an enthusiastic amateur gardener who traveled extensively in Europe and is believed to have designed much of the garden at Oteley, including its features. His house, Oteley Park, was built in an Elizabethan style on the site of an earlier building between 1826 and 1830 and was extended in 1842, but it was demolished around 1960.
