Description

The four urns at the corners of Menagerie Pond are likely from the 18th century and are said to have been designed by James Gibbs. These tall stone urns feature masks, festoons, and ribbon decoration, standing on square bases. They were reportedly relocated from a site near the house by the Second Lord Camrose and placed in the Menagerie Garden.
