12/88 Column and vase approx. 20m.
SW of the Temple of Flora
GV II
Column and vase. Probably c.1771. Limestone and terracotta. A plain circular
column with a moulded base carries an elaborate terracotta vase on a fluted stem
with a moulded cover. The bowl is decorated with festoons between 3 rams-head
handles and the front is inscribed "IN HORTO/FUIT COR". The vase was probably a
feature of the innovatory flower garden designed in 1771 by the Reverend William
Mason, author of "The English Flower Garden", for Lord Nuneham, afterwards the
2nd Earl Harcourt.
(Nuneham Park is included in the HBMC County Register of Gardens at Grade 1;
