Description

The Urn to Blanche is a Grade II listed structure located in Chatsworth Gardens, dating from around 1840. It is made of sandstone ashlar and features a plain square pedestal with a moulded base, topped by a tall ashlar urn inscribed with the name "BLANCHE." This urn was erected by the Sixth Duke of Devonshire in memory of his nephew's wife, Lady Blanche Howard, who passed away in 1840. The Gardens and Park are recognized on the Gardens Register at Grade I.
