    The monument to the 4th Earl of Bristol.

    From the terrace in the Italianate Gardens, look out for a glimpse of a tall monument peeking above the trees. Situated in a pasture field on the far side of the Estate, you can reach it by taking a long walk across open land and through Lownde Wood.

    The monument was erected in 1817 by the grateful people of Derry to the memory of the 4th Earl of Bristol, Frederick Hervey who was also the Bishop of Derry. It was built by the masons John and Robert de Carle and has inscriptions in both English and Latin on its east and west faces.

    On the west face, it describes the Earl Bishop’s work in encouraging a better understanding between the warring factions in Ireland.

    It's an unusual monument, as it was paid for by both the Protestant and Catholic communities in Derry.
