Description: | A pair of carved seated bulls (emblem of the Ridley family) on each of the gatepiers of the South Lodge of Blagdon Hall.They are painted white. Additional Information: The gatepiers on which the bulls sit were designed by James Wyatt in 1786 but Wyatt's drawings for the gatepiers show lions rather than bulls. It seems possible that the bulls are the work of John Graham Lough who from 1836 was often employed by the Ridleys although Lough's biographers make no such attribution.(1) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Not known | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7532... | Go to resource |
