marked with regular striae, coped and set on a plinth with lead
tablet mounted onto the front, decorated on the crown with a

on the 21st September 1848 in his 47th year. This monument is
raised by his kinsman William Arthur Sixth Duke of Portland K.G.

the post free from prejudices his large mind sympathised with all
classes of the realm his courage and constancy were never
surpassed by man he valued life only as a means of fulfilling
duty'. Disraeli." Above the lead tablet is an ashlar shield
with coat of arms. On either side of the column are raised
ashlar plaques inscribed "truth" on the left and "courage" on the
right. The column is topped with a decorated ashlar urn.
Flanking the base are a single stone trough to the left and a
single stone step to the right. Either side is a single curved
ashlar wall, topped where they terminate in single sections of
shaped ashlar coping.
