Image description

The sculpture is lead on an ashlar plinth, and dates to the 18th century. The artist is unknown. The life-size figures show the Biblical story of Samson slaying a Philistine, and the two figures are twisted around each other as Samson stands over the Philistine with a weapon in his raised right hand. He holds his opponent's hair with his left hand to pull the head back. The house and grounds are now under the care of the National Trust.
