Statue of Diana at Wrest Park

This statue of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, and a greyhound is one of the few remaining lead statues bought for Wrest Park by Henry Grey, Duke of Kent, in the late 1720s. It is thought to have been purchased from the leading London statuary maker Andrew Carpenter. Many of the lead statues were melted down in 1809 by the then owner of Wrest, Amabel, Countess de Grey.
