Summary
Model - One of a pair of carved stone eagles, standing wings outstretched, one facing left, one right, on square base. Purchased by the Heathcoat Amory family in the 1920s. [Note; These would appear to actually be of some form of moulded cement. The ones currently on the terrace are replacements. The originals (or are they another interim set of replacements, also of cement on a metal frame?) are in the mansion courtyard. The moulds from which these replacements were cast have been sought, but not located. Stephen Goddard, 3.4.2007]
