Column and vase. Probably c.1771. Limestone and terracotta. A plain circular column with a moulded base carries an elaborate terracotta vase on a fluted stem with a moulded cover. The bowl is decorated with festoons between 3 rams-head handles and the front is inscribed "IN HORTO/FUIT COR". The vase was probably a feature of the innovatory flower garden designed in 1771 by the Reverend William Mason, author of "The English Flower Garden", for Lord Nuneham, afterwards the 2nd Earl Harcourt.
