EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and intricacy of The Notts Testimonial to Lord George Bentinck, a monumental structure erected in Mansfield Market-Place in 1850. Designed by T.C. Hine, the monument is a richly ornamented Gothic structure, standing at approximately 50 feet high, reminiscent of the architectural style that prevailed during the fourteenth century. The monument is divided into three distinct stages. The base or pedestal, adorned with a flight of steps, showcases the armorial bearings of the Portland family. The middle stage consists of a gabled canopy, supported by pinnacled buttresses and clustered columns. The gables of the canopy are filled with diaper-work and sculptures symbolizing the causes Lord George Bentinck championed. The pinnacles, gables, and spire-lights are all intricately carved with crockets. The Notts Testimonial to Lord George Bentinck is a testament to the architectural prowess of the time, with its traceried and gabled lights and a gilded vane atop the lofty spire. The contract for the building was undertaken by Mr. Charles Lindley, and the monument remains a significant landmark in Mansfield's history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate details and grandeur of a bygone era.
