Description
This is a ship's figurehead from the 'Admiral Lord Howe', created in 1860. The 'Admiral Lord Howe' was the last wooden-wall warship constructed for the Royal Navy and was later renamed 'Impregnable' when it became a training ship. The ship was dismantled in the 1920s, along with its sister ship 'Hindustan', and the timber was used for the framing of Liberty and Co.'s store on Regent Street. The figurehead was relocated to The Lee and placed next to Pipers by the Liberty family around 1924. It features a half-length depiction of Lord Howe in admiral's uniform, mounted on a scroll from the prow of the ship, and is made of painted timber.
