Description

The monument, set on the edge of the terrace before the southeast loggia of Southill Park, was created in 1806 by George Garrard for Samuel Whitbread II. Made of Coade stone, it stands about 1 metre high and features a carved reclining spaniel on an oval plinth. At the base of the plinth, round-headed arches open onto a drinking basin. This monument is dedicated to Jock, a beloved spaniel, and bears the following inscription:

"The good, the faythful and the just
Are honour'd in the silent dust.
Near his beloved Mistress' seat
Departed JOCK such honours meet.
Ye dogs who in succession share
Your kindest Lady's tender care,
Drink at this font, for see above
A model of the truest love
That ever warm'd your faithful Race.
His living form you there may trace,
Drink at this font and humbly vie
with him in matchless constancy.

S W 1806 JOCK"
