Feversham Monument

It was commissioned by his son, William Duncombe, 1st Earl of Feversham, who laid the foundation stone in May 1869.

[1] The canopy, designed by George Gilbert Scott, was completed in 1870, but the statue, carved by Matthew Noble, was only lifted into place in December 1871.

The work cost about £1,000, and on completion it was described by the British Farmers' Magazine as "well-conceived and wrought out", and bearing "a general resemblance on a small scale to the Scott Monument at Edinburgh".

[3] In 2021, it was assessed as needing specialist repair work, following damage from rain, plant growth and birds' nests.

The statue is in limestone and consists of the baron standing in full regalia on a pedestal with a foliate frieze, atop four steps.
