19th Century Philanthropist Annie, Lady Jerningham Large Marble Bust W.R.Ingram

About the Item

A marble bust on typical waisted circular socle of Philanthropist Annie, Lady Jerningham The bust was carved by R.W.Ingram around the last quarter of the 19th century and we believe the bust was a precursor to the Berwick-upon-Tweed’s ‘Monument to Lady Jerningham’ that was also designed by Walter Ingrams and Hubert Jerningham in 1903 Annie, Lady Jerningham (1850-1902), daughter of Edward Liddell of Benton Park, Newcastle. The statue was donated to the town by her second husband, Sir Hubert Jerningham, who was the local Member of Parliament from 1881 to 1885. Lady Jernignham’s health had begun to suffer in Trinidad and Tobago, where Hubert was colonial governor between 1897 and 1900. They returned to Britain at the turn of the century, but she never fully recovered and died on 9th October 1902, aged 52. Her death was marked locally by the closing of shops and the lowering of blinds. At the unveiling of the statue, the mayor of Berwick spoke of Lady Jerningham’s philanthropy: ‘Generous and kindly she ever was’. The bust as you can see has spent a number of years in the elements and has acquired wonderful tone from lichens, Moss and Algae's. There is also some damage to Annies tiara and also what looks like a elderly repair to a small section on the back of her blouse. Still a particularity fine bust of great proportions and likely to be the only other with the Berwick Monument of Annie in existence Measures: 73cm in height 54cm in width 36cm in depth.
