>+RESTORATION OF THE LEAD STATUE OF
DIANA THE HUNTRESS
Shortly after this photograph was taken in July 1994 the Angel was removed
and unceremoniously dumped behind the walled garden. Eventually hidden beneath grass
and briars the statue was run over by reversing vehicles.
It was recovered in 1999 to become the subject of restoration at the hands
of civil engineer, Mr. George Logan in June 2000.
