Statue of the late Duke of Bedford, at Tavistock, by E. B. Stephens, A.R.A., 1864. The figure, which is of bronze, is 7 ft. in height, and is placed on a granite pedestal 8 ft. in height, both pedestal and statue being composed of materials produced on the Bedford estate. The late Duke is represented in his robes as a Peer, with the insignia of the Order of the Garter. The likeness is a faithful one, and the whole representation is very striking. The work has given great satisfaction to the members of the Bedford family and to the large number of subscribers by whom it was ordered. The pedestal bears the following inscription: "In honour of Francis, seventh Duke of Bedford". From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
