Memorial to Lord Bristol
Image: © Bob Jones Taken: 7 Aug 2006
This obelisk, erected in 1817, commemorates the 4th Earl of Bristol, Frederick Augustus Hervey, who was also Bishop of Derry. It is visible from Ickworth House, rising above the trees of Lowndes Wood. It is a testimony to Lord Bristol's immense popularity within his diocese as the subscribers to the memorial included both the Roman Catholic bishop and the Presbyterian moderator. The inscription on the base begins "Sacred to the Memory of Frederick Earl of Bristol who during XXXV years that he presided over that see, endeared himself to all denominations of Christians resident in that extensive diocese. He was the friend and protector of them all."
