DescriptionIn 1808 Fenton noted a number of painted lead figures placed around the Edwinsford Home Farm (NPRN 17442). There was also at least one figure on the roof of the mansion itself (NPRN 249).
The figures found near their appropriate offices included a great pig or boar, haymakers, an 'admirable fowler' and a milkmaid. By way of contrast the one recorded statue on the roof of the mansion's northern wing was a classical figure of Mercury.
The figure's present whereabouts in unknown.
