Description

The Buddhist shrine in the garden is located approximately 40 metres southeast of Kildwick Hall. It is likely from the late 18th century to the 19th century and is made of grey sandstone, standing about 1.2 metres high. The shrine features an octagonal base and a banded cylindrical shaft, topped with a shrine that has panels decorated with animal motifs in relief. Some of the panels are pierced, and the cover is adorned with curled-back petal motifs, although the bulbous finial is damaged. This shrine is one of four that may have been introduced with the garden layout by Frances Mary Richardson Currer, who had the bay-windowed extension to Kildwick Hall built in 1858. Frances was the granddaughter of Frances Clive, sister of Robert, 1st Lord Clive, who died in 1798, suggesting a possible family connection to these ornamental features.
