Statue Of Diana The Huntress, About 80 Metres West Of Wyatt'S Court

The Statue of Diana the Huntress, located about 80 metres west of Wyatt's Court, was created in 1704. It features a ham stone base and a Portland stone statue. The circular base is approximately 1 metre in diameter and stands about 4 metres high, with a moulded plinth, cornice, and a stepped top. The figure of Diana is depicted looking westward, with her right arm bent back to draw an arrow from her sheath, accompanied by a stag rampant on the south side. A plaque at the base notes that the statue was originally situated one mile to the west and was moved to its current location, half a mile west of Hinton House, in 1984 after restoration. Although the plaque states the date as 1704, some stylistic evidence suggests it may actually date to around 1766, when the then Earl Poulett realigned the road north of the estate and enhanced the landscaping, surrounding the statue with a double ring of lime trees.
