Statue of Atlas approximately 250m south-east of Wrest Park House

The Statue of Atlas, located approximately 250 meters south-east of Wrest Park House, is a Grade II listed structure made of Portland stone with a stone base and plinth. This statue represents the Greek god Atlas, depicted as a stooping figure bearing a globe on his shoulders, held in place by his hands. A long garland of drapery drapes over his left shoulder, falling to a tree stump behind his left leg, while the other end crosses his chest to join his right side. Atlas is sculpted as a muscular figure with a strongly formed face, large nose, and thick beard and hair. The drapery accentuates his nakedness, and a small hole cut into the stone just above his pubic hair is believed to be a remnant from a 19th-century addition of a fig leaf. The base of the statue is naturalistic, with a secondary base beneath it, likely made of sandstone and roughly moulded into a Torus moulding, which is almost certainly a later addition. The pedestal, thought to be from the 19th century, features curved corners on the moulded cap and base, a square die, and is raised on a masonry plinth. The statue shows signs of weathering, with the hands and feet having lost considerable detail. There are earthworks indicating that a pond once surrounded this statue, although it has since silted up.
