Description:The monument to the First Duke of Sutherland (died 1833) is situated at the south end of the Trentham Estate. The statue is the work of Winks (designer) and Chantrey (sculptor).
The 15 foot statue is carved in sandstone, and was erected by the people of the neighbourhood in 1834.
An inscription on the monument reads: 'In lasting memorial of George Granville, Duke of Sutherland, Marquess of Stafford, K.G., an upright and patriotic Nobleman, a judicious, kind and liberal landlord who identified the improvement of the vast estates with the prosperity of all who cultivated them. A public yet unostentatious benefactor, who while he provided useful employment for the active labourer, opened wide his hand to the distress of the widow, the sick and the traveller. A mourning and grateful tenantry uniting with the inhabitants of the neighbourhood erected this pillar. AD MDCCCXXXIV.'
Another statue of the 1st Duke of Sutherland can be found on Ben Bhraggie, in northern Scotland.
