1. Title: "A Memorial Tribute: The Duke of Westminster's Effigy and Fence Design at Chester Cathedral" This evocative photograph captures a pair of architectural drawings, showcasing the intricate design of a fence and the memorial to the Duke of Westminster, Hugh Lupus Grosvenor (1825-1899), at Chester Cathedral. Dated circa 1902, these drawings offer a glimpse into the meticulous planning and execution of this significant tribute. The Duke of Westminster, a prominent figure in British history, was a highly influential aristocrat and landowner. His effigy, designed by the esteemed architect Charles James Blomfield (1829-1922), is depicted in the upper portion of the drawing. Blomfield, known for his Gothic Revival designs, expertly crafted an effigy that embodies the grandeur and dignity befitting a duke. Beneath the effigy, the lower drawing reveals the intricate design of the fence that surrounds the memorial. Carved by the skilled sculptor Frederick William Pomeroy (1856-1924), the fence design is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The intricate details, such as the interwoven patterns and ornate motifs, reflect the dedication to creating a fitting tribute for the Duke of Westminster. The memorial, designed by Blomfield and brought to life through Pomeroy's sculpting, stands as a lasting testament to the Duke of Westminster's legacy. The pair of architectural drawings provide a unique perspective into the creative process behind this significant memorial, offering a glimpse into the intricacies of early 20th-century design and craftsmanship.
