Description
GREAT AMWELL HILLSIDE LANE TL 3712 (south side) Great Amwell village 12/33 Two statues in garden at Magna Cottages 20 metres south- west of house II
2 statues. Circa C18. Portland stone. A pair of large reclining semi-draped figures, one male and bearded, the other female. They recline towards each other and each leans on an urn directing the mouth forward and downward. The heads have been removed and stand in front of the group: with them the figures would be about 2 metres high. The backs are flat as if to be set against a wall. The property is associated with the Mylne family of architects and the figures may have come from a pediment or bridge abutment designed by Robert Mylne, possibly for the New River Company for whom he was Surveyor 1771 -1811. They may have been meant to personify the 2 source wells of the New River, Chad and Emma.
