Description

The lead trough, dated 1750, is located approximately 25 meters southwest of the Sculpture Gallery in Woburn Park. It is made of lead and features rams with the Bedford crest topped by coronets. The trough has raised geometrical panel mouldings and is similar to other items in the vicinity, although it has less ornamentation. It is likely not in its original position.
