and a thick beard. In his right hand he holds a club over his shoulder, and
his left hand rests on his hip. He stands on a small cubical plinth on the
back of which is the inscription: "set up for Queen Elizabeth 1578, removed to
Hardwick 1827, severely damaged 1967, restored and returned home 1978". For
