Sculpture Gallery in Woburn Houses a Temple of Liberty
A Sculpture Gallery in Woburn houses a temple of liberty with an Ionic portico and busts of key Whig statesmen from the early 1800s. An inscription notes Francisco Russell Bedfordie duce indicatam and Joannes Russell heres ejus ex voluntate fratris momentes. A Garrard painting of the Duke of York and Lord Somerville led to a large folio engraving. The writer notes the duke may have been lord-lieutenant of Ireland in 1806 and recalls a 1816 brigand assassination scare. The duke donated 2000 pounds to the Metropolis Churches Fund.
