Description

The urn in the Higher Garden is a late 18th-century bronze urn set on a granite plinth. It features handles shaped like beasts and raised figures on the bowl. This urn is part of a group that was brought to Lanhydrock around 1900, with others located in the garden east of Lanhydrock House.
