Description: | Statue of Hercules leaning on lion, looking north, standing on stone block approx. 20cm deep, on top of pillar with curved top built of stone blocks in courses and slightly tapering. The bottom four courses of the pillar have no mortar, the higher courses are cemented together. The statue is worn and lacking an arm and is said by Pevsner to be from an c.18th monument. Probably placed on a new pillar. Mythological: Local people say it commemorates a horse, Hercules, the largest cart horse in England and that the Hercules pub (with sign of a horse, though not a cart horse!) commemorates the same animal at Sutton Cheney. | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Other: unknown, *** | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7887... | Go to resource |
