The statue is to William, Earl of Lonsdale K.G. Lord Lieutenant of Cumberland and Westmoreland 1802-44. Note the e in more. Before Westmorland was absorbed into Cumbria in 1972 it had lost that e, but that was a common alternative spelling in the 1700s and early 1800s, and has transferred to the USA where it is considered correct.
