Monument and dogs' drinking basin. 1806 by George Garrard for Samuel
Whitbread II. Coade stone. The monument stands about 1 metre high, in the
form of a carved reclining spaniel supported by an oval plinth. At the base
of the plinth round headed arches open onto the drinking basin. The monument
is dedicated to Jock, a favourite spaniel, and the inscription reads:

The good, the faythful and the just
Are honour'd in the silent dust.
Near his beloved Mistress' seat
Departed JOCK such honours meet.
Ye dogs who in succession share
Your kindest Lady's tender care,
Drink at this font, for see above
A model of the truest love
That ever warm'd your faithful Race.
His living form you there may trace,
Drink at this font and humbly vie
with him in matchless constancy.

S W 1806 JOCK
