Description

This is a group of eighteen columns that enclose the Rose Garden in front of the First Duke's Greenhouse. The columns date from the late 17th century and were re-erected in their current position in 1812. They are made of sandstone ashlar and feature Tuscan Doric design. Four columns in the center support statues, while four at the south entrance hold busts. Surrounding the Rose Garden are ten additional columns topped with ball finials. There are also two statues on moulded pedestal bases. The columns and busts, originally part of the open courtyard of the house, are late 17th century. The Gardens and Park are recognized on the Gardens Register at Grade I.
