The Lead Statue of William III.

Life Size Lead Statue.

attributed to John Cheere.

Wrest Park.

The Statue of William III is thought to have been introduced to Wrest sometime after 1737 as it is not shown on the 1737 John Rocque views of the gardens, and the majority of figures commemorating William III generally date from around the 1730s. 

This particular statue is first recorded as an image in 1831 in 'Views of Wrest'. It is thought to be the work of John Cheere (1709-1787) as the detailing of the leadwork and also the chased work bear close comparison to other work by him, such as the statue of Jemima, Duchess of Kent (1675 - 1728) also in the garden at Wrest.

The pedestal has four projecting faces of panel form. The base of a fascia surmounted by a small torus, cymatium and to the top a Cavetto mould. The die has four projecting panels, three of which are rebated out with an oblong panel to the face. The fourth has an inset white, Italian marble panel, into which is cut the inscription: KING WILLIAM/ the 3/of GLORIOUS/ and/ Immortell Memory.
